KOCHS BUY NEW MINISTRIES OF ECONOMICS PROPAGANDA

Thanks are due to Reader Supported News for picking this story up from The Daily Beast, and to the latter for picking it up from the Center for Public Integrity. I've given below the leads from each in turn. After scrolling through the first two, you might pay homage to the original by following up the link attached to the third to check out the kind of work the Center does. Then return to the Daily Beast article, which is an elaboration of the original (with more details).

The documents on which the stories are based can be found via the links somewhat misleadingly distributed among the four separate words -- "previously," "unpublished," "emails," and "memos" -- in the next-to-last paragraph of the original piece at the CPI (or, of course, right here in this sentence).
