Note this is "authored" by watchdog.org which is a media outlet for the ultra conservative Koch brothers.

  I'm sort of confused by how authorship works in the US News & World Report generally, and clicking around a bit on the site doesn't clarify it. Do they have professional staff reporters? Is it just reblogging stuff from elsewhere? Are they buying freelance pieces? Is it like Forbes where there's a "Forbes proper" and an "anybody can blog on Forbes.com here" section (and if so, how do I tell which is which)? I can't really sort out what the intended semantics are for an article published on usnews.com but with a byline of another website. Seems confusing, but in any case, letting outside lobbying groups run news articles in their pages, not marked as either contributed op-eds or paid messages, is a bit weird.
