Kochs shift strategy away from TV ads in homestretch pivot

Washington (CNN)The powerful network helmed by Charles and David Koch is making a homestretch pivot away from the television ads on which they've spent millions of dollars and instead embracing their more traditional role: nuts-and-bolts organizing.

The Koch network has planned to spend $42 million of advertisements to boost Republican Senate hopefuls, marshaling resources initially intended for the presidential race toward a half-dozen Senate contests where the millions could make a difference. But now, with less than 60 days to go, the network is refocusing, encouraging supporters to donate to their nonprofits tasked primarily with organizing voters in the key Senate states rather than continuing to saturate the airwaves.

"A lot of folks can put up good and effective ads," James Davis, a group spokesman, told reporters Wednesday. "We have a robust field capability and that's something that distinguishes us from many others. We have to play to that strength, particularly in the environment we're in in 2016."

The heavy advertising earlier this year was a new posture for the Kochs, who oversee the most influential conservative donor network in the country: They made their mark in the 2012 cycle by knocking on doors and sending direct mail in swing-states, not with flashy television ads financed by their new super PAC, Freedom Partners Action Fund.

3. The fucking nerve

of billionaire ideologues thinking they have a moral imperative to decide for everyone how our society should be organized, and that they have a right to undermine the democratic process, by self-servingly purchasing influence over our system with their money.

It makes me so mad. How I despise capitalism. It's a built-in mechanim for corrupting goverance, and it will be the bane of civilization.

2. I so want karma to hit the Koch bros for destroying our democracy.

They have ruined Wisconsin and so many other states with their propaganda. And I am ashamed so many of my fellow Ameticans who are basically good people for falling for their bullshit. The same people falling for Adolph Benitos Cheetos frickin' bs.
