The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann
Why the Mainstream Media Is Silent On SHAFTA: Rachel Butler of Greenpeace talks about the Koch Brothers' attack on climate change.
Conservative American oligarchic industrialists Charles and David Koch plan to raise $889 million to spend on political operations ahead of the 2016 election. The sum would be more than twice as much as the Koch network spent during the 2012 election.
The budget figure was released Monday in Palm Springs, Calif., to about 450 donors and allies who attended the Koch network’s annual winter meeting of Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, the non-profit organization at the epicenter of the Kochs’ political advocacy.
