Advocacy group is not 'grass roots'

It's remarkable that you ran an article by Mike Riopell on March 20 on the plans of the advocacy group Americans for Prosperity without ever mentioning the Koch brothers. Despite its name, this is not even remotely a grass-roots movement.

Right-wing billionaires David and Charles Koch founded and fund Americans for Prosperity and other front groups to advance their political philosophy of, well, protecting the interests of billionaires.

They have the right to do that, and perhaps it's appropriate for the Daily Herald to report on their activities. But shouldn't you at least identify the nature of the organization when you do?
