NYT publishes article by Koch operative -- claims Tea Party was a grassroots movement [View all]

The NYT needs fact checkers. How can they allow an article like this to be published without discussing Tea Party support from billionaires?

Jennifer Stefano is the author. How can the NYT allow this to be published without mentioning that the Koches supported the Tea Party? And that Fox and Glenn Beck and right wing radio amplified the Tea Party?

Stefano herself is now paid by the Koches.

The New York Times is getting played by GOP billionaires.

Also, the article contains actual lies about the tax cut bill. How can the NYT sleep at night allowing a Koch operative to print lies to advance the Koch agenda?

The New Yorker even fact-checks CARTOONS american_ideals Feb 2018 #3

So stick with the New Yorker. You've made your point. hedda_foil Feb 2018 #4

But the NYT's exploitation by the GOP basically got Trump elected. american_ideals Feb 2018 #5

From what I've gathered from Indivisible BigmanPigman Feb 2018 #6

Nah. Tea Party was kicked off by Beck. The GOP has no grassroots - only astroturf and lies american_ideals Mar 2018 #10
