This is broad brush nonsense.
Yes, there are so-called "think tanks" which produce barely-disguised propaganda.
But there are others (ahem ahem @cgdev)* that produce world class original research and extract policy relevance from academia.

I'm a Stanford alum so I'm an instinctive defender. (To declare another competing interest, I also had a job sorting mail at Hoover during college...). But yeah, they're a big liability.

The research I was referring to wasn't from Hoover but via core Stanford faculty. But of course there's been garbage from Hoover too.
