• title: Two documentaries reveal shadowy Koch-funded network threatening democracy, public education
• summary: [[summary::{{fmt/quote|Just how much political influence can money buy? [..] How much money can the rich pour into politics before democracy is compromised? [..] Can the public possibly stand up to the seemingly unlimited resources behind the agenda to take away their rights? [..] These questions, and many more, are raised by the documentaries "Citizen Koch" and "Koch Bros. Exposed," which both use as their starting point the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision that opened the door for corporations to spend freely and anonymously in political campaigns, giving the nation's wealthiest an outsized voice in politics."</call>
