Larry Dovichi: So what does Bee have against Koch brothers?

Wonder what’s up with The Bee’s ongoing focus on the Koch brothers (“How many millions to buy 2016 election?” Our View, Jan. 30; “The Koch brother are buying into 2016,” Feb. 1, Page D3, by Washington Post blogger Paul Waldman)? I am sure that most readers understand the brothers are Republicans and pour a ton of money into the political effort to elect Republicans. I was disappointed that the Monday (Feb. 2) paper failed to have a third damming article in four days. Here is hoping that maybe, just maybe, this coming week we may find out a bit more about George Soros or whomever else is supporting those cash-poor Democrats that daily ask me (as do those overly rich Republicans) for a bit of cash. In fairness, I admit that in the almost 600-word anti-Koch Friday editorial did contain a 65-word justification paragraph relating to a one wealthy Democrat spending. By the way it was neatly tucked (and hidden) into the very bottom of the editorial.

Larry Dovichi, Modesto
