The PBS Home Team
Though this detailed expose concerns the PBS show Think Tank, it offers a instructive roadmap on the rise of right wing think tanks serving as advocacy organizations for conservative causes, elevating fringe politics into the mainstream via their fully stocked financial coffers.
The American Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation, Bradley Foundation, Olin Foundation, Smith-Richardson Foundation, and Scaife (who's funded all of these) foundations pay millions to writers to advocate their agenda which is in near total alignment with Republican politics and ideology. PBS programming influence is increasingly dictated by conservative philanthropies, using tax-exempt monies.
