Defense Contractor Funded Think Tanks Dominate Ukraine Debate MAY 2023 | QUINCY BRIEF NO. 41, di Ben Freeman
Think tanks in the United States are a go–to resource for media outlets seeking expert
opinions on pressing public policy issues. But think tanks often have entrenched
stances; a growing body of research has shown that their funders can influence their
analysis and commentary. This influence can include censorship — both self-censorship
and more direct censoring of work unfavorable to a funder — and outright
pay–for–research agreements with funders. The result is an environment where the
interests of the most generous funders can dominate think tank policy debates.
