When I listen to CSIS, I know what their biases are: National Security, and more of it, but I don't rank fair.org that highly, and their review of CSIS seems more accusation than evidence. Donations do not always equal corruption, and they mislead in indicating just those donors without indicating other large donors. I'll list just the donors 250k or more M.J.

Being NatSec focused, they tend to think more more more, but it is not clear to me that CSIS is appropriately thought of as propaganda.
