### George Soros vs Koch Brothers, Media Double Standards

- **Published:** 2010-08-29
- **Time:** 1:09:57–1:12:46

The hosts compare the media's treatment of the Koch brothers to that of George Soros. They note that Jane Mayer's 2004 article on Soros was far less critical of his "secret meetings" than her current piece on the Kochs. They also highlight that the Koch brothers fund non-partisan groups like the ACLU and the show "Nova" on PBS.
