Facts, Propaganda and Libertarianism | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I am a libertarian socialist, which means I believe in free will (as defined by Thomas Aquinas - so I don't get the heresy angle) and in collectivism - not by governments but by workers.  The Koch brothers are not libertarians, they are capitalists who use their political cash to further their own business interests - not liberty (if liberty did not serve their interests, they would disavow it - O bet thier factories are not even close to being run in a libertarian fashion - probably more hierarchist).  It is why they are funding major global warming deniers - recall the Kochs are in coal in a big way - and not the clean kind.  While not necessarily racists, they do fund tea party groups linked to the racist militia movement.  Now THAT is a form of collectivism - but the kind I find odious.  As for the cable news channels, they feed what their audiences want to see, not what is really news - because they too are run by capitalists.
