Did anyone ever think of think tanks as anything other than thin veils of credibility for whatever they were advocating for?
The Heritage Foundation, and the Hoover Institution, for example.
i think you’re vastly overestimating the general public’s awareness of such things and whether they even think critically about the things they are aware of
More than half the country reads at below a sixth grade reading level. It’s really hard to be aware of much in that capacity.
completely by design, and in the works for decades
an informed, curious, and skeptical population does nothing to help the 1%, and everything to threaten them

I’m guessing a lot of the general public doesn’t even know what a think tank is.
We used to call the Grease Trap the Stink Tank.
Legalize hooverin schneef!
It’s not a bug it’s a feature.
Washington think tanks exist solely as a tool to allow money to set policy.
This is like saying radiation exposure is tainting cancer.
Think Tanks were always private groups taking private money to influence policy.
Someone should set up a campaign group named Citizens For Integrity In Think Tanks to tackle this pressing issue.
I already founded one called Tenaciously Investigating Think Tanks, Instigating Essential Scrutiny, or TITTIES
Definitely need to take a look at them (TITTIES)
Le Tits Now!
Think tanks are the result of people with money working to corrupt the political system. Tainting them is pointless.
Has been from the start. I’m pretty sure that the first US “think” tank was the fucking John Birch Society!
Oh no, the septic tanks are being tainted…
an entity that doesn’t need to show its financial books and directly influence politics. Who’d of thought. /s
It’s who’d’ve thought. Not to correct, but because double contractions are the best.
