This is not at all true. The Kochs are easily outspent by the left every year. Just look at the Sierra Club's, NRDC's, EDF's, LCV's, Center for American Progress, and other's spending every year. And these are just groups that do environment activities. Soros, Tides Foundation, Steyer, McCarthur, Packard Foundation, and other foundations spend far more than the Kochs. If anything the Kochs are playing catch up. But the CS Monitor is not interested in writing about that. They are getting pitched by Media Matters on the Kochs and those are the stories The Monitor writes.

The top individual funders tend to be conservatives: https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/summ.php?disp=D https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/summ.php?disp=D And on the left, the biggest organizational contributers in election cycles tend to be unions (which is a significant factor behind the right's desire to break them): https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php?cycle=2014 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php?cycle=2014
