I think the ultimate damage by the Koch Brothers...is if they start forcing their own papers to really cover the local town and state politics. Some folks might be shocked that they actually have corruption in Chicago, California or LA. This is the one thing that none of the networks will go after....corrupted political figures.

Not true that the Kochs have no connection to newspapering. Their grandfather was a newspaper man. His son, Fred, was a chemical engineer who had several inventions related to making more gasoline from crude oil.
Fred Koch was co-founder of the John Birch Society.

The networks are part of it. Ever check how much advertising government buys in the media?
