Some of this material by User:NMS Bill/Koch Industries/Corporate history should be integrated into this article on David H.Koch as it contains content on the history of Koch Industries.
The TV show Air Disasters on Smithsonian Channel, Season 2, Episode 10, Cleared for Disaster, covers the airline crash and Koch is interviewed. Would a reference to that episode be good to include? 67.149.110.38 (talk) 19:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This entry is astonishingly hushed about David Koch's involvement in disinformation and climate denial. There is a little mention of sources criticizing Koch, followed by some confusing muffled distraction. The entry is evocative of Koch's history of muddying waters in order to stall for time on scientific information that could threaten his profits. It appears to have been written by people in the echo-chamber think tanks Koch funds. 96.36.41.185 (talk) 11:09, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In 2001, a subsidiary of the company pleaded guilty to concealing environmental violations at the refinery; a multitude of other charges were dropped, but the company paid a $20 million fine to settle the matter. The owners believed they had been victimized by overzealous prosecutors and unclear statutes. “Our view was if we, a large company with many resources, were treated this way, what’s happening to the average American?” Holden says.
This is a coatrack to make it a criticism section. "Critics say this person's stance was to benefit their own interest. Here is their stance". And the text you highlighted is not what was in the edit. Even so, that is OR to use that as sourcing or justification. Uhtregorn (talk) 23:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is no OR or coatrack. This is reporting from Tim magazine with source being his close associate. Critical material is also not censored on Wikipedia despite this not being one. You are making up your own pov reasons for not including that part. Theofunny (talk) 14:11, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this is a directly related *fact* not criticism that he had settle the allegations out of court which encouraged him to pursue criminal justice reform as he felt treated unfairly. Not sure how you call it coatrack. Theofunny (talk) 14:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
