"Pay no attention to clearly demonstrated facts and a cogent argument! Koch funded the research so it must be bad!"

I guess we should tell the many people benefiting from the Koch's donations to organizations such as the Integrative Institute for Cancer Research at MIT ($100,000,000), Johns Hopkins University for Cancer Research ($25,000,000), the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center ($30,000,000), the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center ($25,000,000), the New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center ($15,000,000), the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York ($25,000,000), and the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute ($10,000,000), to name just a few, that they should pay no attention to the results of the life-saving research being done there that could save their lives! The evil Koch’s funded it, so it can't be right!

Sadly one cannot trust the government figures anymore. Inflation is another figure that has been manipulated for political ends.
