      Megan....you are a Koch beneficiary. And now a Bezos beneficiary. It's not your kitchen appliance wishlist material that got you there. It's your willingness to go to bat for the most powerful people in the world against the rest of us. At least own it.

      Over the course of twenty years, I collected a few modest honoraria from organizations that are partly funded by the Kochs. My husband's magazine for a time had the late David Koch on its board. But 99.9% of my income, and all my journalistic training, came from the MSM.

      OK! Now we're getting somewhere. Is it possible that doors opened for you throughout your career bc of this connection between you and the Kochs? Is your ideological muddying of power relationships between owners and workers relevant as well?

      No. I have never worked at a publication that was in any way remotely sympathetic to the Kochs. I'm sure my views have something to do with why I'm hired, as is also true of Liz Bruenig or any lefty pundit. But that's not the claim here.

      Whether it's the Institute for Humane Studies, or UAE underwriting The Federalist, these are relevant aspects of your career. Especially in discussing where your politics come from and what you advocate for.

      The IHS did not underwrite my career. While I already had a job at The Economist, I attended a 2003 seminar run by them and Liberty Fund, on the topic of Just War Theory. I stayed in a DC hotel and spent a weekend discussing Just War Theory. (1/?)

      I went home. IHS listed me on their website as an alum. YEars later, when Mark Ames got mad at me, he read that entry, leapt to the conclusion that I had participated in some sort of journalism training/placement program, and wrote that as if it was a fact rather than speculation

      This could have been cleared up with a simple request for comment, which is standard practice for any ethical journalist, but for some reason Mark Ames did not send that request.

      (Or perhaps it never reached my inbox, who knows?) At any rate, this, and many more of his wild and equally baseless speculations were then taken as gospel truth by people who apparently think that if you read it on the internet, it must be true.

      These non-fact "Facts" now circulate among them, growing wilder with each retelling--my absolute favorite is not my entirely imaginary trust fund, but the assertion that I once roomed with Ezra Klein, which, what?

      "Met your husband at a backyard BBQ of a Vox founder" is plausibly close via telling / retelling to "roomed with Ezra Klein". The broader implication is that you are ensconced in a far left social circle that you are eager to please which is basically true.
