Not the first, but the most jarring moment where Stacey Singer reveals a Marxist bias in her Palm Beach Post smear-job of conservative philanthropist David Koch:
But what has drawn controversy is that the brothers give many millions to far-right organizations dedicated to spreading an Ayn Rand-infused ideology, one in which a benevolent business class flourishes, unfettered by taxes and regulations. Some have called it free-market fundamentalism.
Who are “some”? Google the term and Marxists like Cornel West appear on page one.
Second, alleged journalist Singer utilizes her Maureen Dowd-like telepathy:
But as Koch speaks, he repeatedly uses the phrase “union power” as though it’s interchangeable with the word “Bolshevik” – a new red scare for a new century.
This forced transition allows Singer to pursue her political agenda, depicting the Tea Party as a revival of the conspiracist John Birch Society:
Once Fred Koch saw the horrors of Stalin’s purges, he was committed to fighting communism’s spread. Trade unionism and the welfare state represented a creeping, insidious move toward the Bolsheviks, he believed. He became a founding member of the anticommunist John Birch Society in 1958.
[…]
Through their personal foundations, their corporate political action committee and their checkbooks, the Kochs have broadened and popularized their father’s views.
Never mind that Bircher paleoconservatism finds a home amongst Ron Paul’s anarcho-capitalist acolytes, not the mainstream Americans for Prosperity.
Peruse Singer’s personal twitterfeed for five minutes and the reporter’s Marxist sympathies come into clarity. First observe her retweets: the progressive-hacker-bullies Anonymous and a Mother Jones article.
She also uses Twitter to find subjects for her politicized stories. On February 6 Singer Tweeted to her followers:
What’s it like trying to get health care in
#PalmBeach County#FLwithout health coverage? Tell me your story.
For final confirmation Singer sees the world through a Marxist lens of evil bourgeoisie oppressing noble proletariat, consider this Twitter exchange with Business Insider Deputy Editor Joseph Weisenthal:

@TheStalwart For what it’s worth, I’m in favor of legalizing unpaid internships. Banning them is absurd.Stacey Singer
@StaceySinger@TheStalwart Not totally absurd. Unpaid internships guarantee only trust-fund babies get a shot at plum jobs. Working-class kids starve.
