soros typically advances his own positions in his own voice.
the open society foundation is relatively transparent about its activities.
there is no quid pro quo such that the recipients of that money have to repeat the infotainment provided them by their donors as there appears to be with koch industries. soros does not limit what he talks about to areas that directly affect his business interests.

but hey, all i really asked for earlier was some data. you know, something that demonstrates soros does undertake activities that are symmetrical with those of koch. a simple search lands one in all kinds of such information from such paragons of intellectual integrity conservative-style as david horowitz. so i can see where getting actual data might be a problem.

but here, the issue is different: here apparently a request for actual information is too much an imposition.

which is surprising because you'd think that the commodification of information would affect everyone who's even a little concerned about rational action--not to mention such vaporous notions as democracy----and that all sides would view it as a problem.
but apparently that's not the case.

apparently it is far more important that libertarian assertions, no matter how arbitrary, are admitted at the level of premise before they will deign to participate in a conversation.

this bodes well.

btw it'd be easy to demonstrate that the right operates differently than does any other political sector when it comes to funding think tanks etc. it's an important innovation. that innovation in funding explains how it is possible that contemporary conservative ideology exists as a mass phenomenon. but who really cares about such petty sociological matters?
