This is slightly interesting --- https://www.buzzfeed.com/rubycramer/david-brock-wants-to-build-his-own-koch-donor-network?utm_term=.rcaKO9pZpX#.jkZXwKrzr5

David Brock/Media Matters wants to set Democrats up with **"Koch Bros." **type financing, but actually Koch Bros. was financing the DLC, along with other large corporations long, long ago. In fact, they seem to have recruited Bill Clinton for the presidency. The Koch Family/John Birch Society have been trying to overturn democracy in the US for about 100 years now.

Near end of article, Keith Olbermann mentioned -- as well as Alefantis . . .

The conference’s more eclectic offerings include a welcome speech from liberal newscaster** Keith Olbermann**; cameos by two Republicans, Bill Weld and Richard Painter; and a session on “Fake News: What It Is and What To Do About It,” led by Brock’s former boyfriend of 10 years, James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong, the D.C. pizza place that became ensnared for weeks in #pizzagate, the campaign to spread viral and vulgar fake news stories involving Clinton at the restaurant.>

*Why hasn’t the DLC — which was funded by Koch Bros. for one — been thrown out of the Dem Party?

*>Holy crap; this is new to me. Didn’t realize that the DLC had sunk so low; had to Google to verify

One member of the DLC’s executive council is none other than Koch Industries, the privately held, Kansas-based oil company whose namesake family members are avatars of the far right, having helped to found archconservative institutions like the Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy. Not only that, but two Koch executives, Richard Fink and Robert P. Hall III, are listed as members of the board of trustees and the event committee, respectively–meaning that they gave significantly more than $25,000.

Koch Industries gave funding to the DLC and served on its Executive Council

Still questions about Olberman marriage or divorce with Katy Tur. No children, however -- at least that's clear.
