Media HyperboleA false and disparaging statement on the website Jezebel is the latest example of activist agenda-driven bloggers making up false allegations about Koch.
Speculating about the sources of funding for the group, National Organization for Marriage, writer Erin Gloria Ryan wrongly and maliciously states, “Who are these anonymous bigots? My money’s on the Koch brothers.”
The reality is that neither Charles Koch nor David Koch are bigots. Neither has funded any opposition to same-sex marriage issues, nor have they voiced any opposition to same-sex marriage. The Kochs and Koch Industries are not involved with National Organization for Marriage in any way and there is no factual basis for any such assertion.
Obviously, Ms. Ryan never called us before printing her slur against the Kochs. In this case, it seems that unfounded, irresponsible smears are more convenient than honesty and fact checking.
