GUIDE TO MEDIA, INSTITUTES AND FUNDERS: Iteration 1

KLP,

Your buddy LindyBill has censored me on his politix thread for some silly reason, so I'm responding to one of your posts here. I found that you've hit a rich ore body of practical information that people really ought to understand, i.e. the political orientation of various NGOs, think tanks, K Street bandits and other influence peddlars.

I'm going to plaigiarize your basic list, and add to and adjust it as I see fit. Your's will always be available at the other thread, but here's a start and I hope others can add to the mix as well. This will be a good resource for everyone, IMHO......
