Koch foundations donate huge amounts to top UK universities.

Byline: "New research by Byline Times reveals that billionaire oil magnate Charles Koch – behind hundreds of millions in annual donations promoting climate science disinformation and right-wing causes in the US – has been contributing to academic research in UK institutions "

There's been an increase in sites that appear to be fact checking sites but which are actually pushing disinformation.

Example:
"Russia, which already uses the "War on Fakes" website"
