I mean, The New York Times actually had an interesting case recently where they described a detainee who was afraid of the dark, and so he was purposely kept very much in the dark.

More quotes by Jane Mayer
[The Kochs] they hate big government.
Jane Mayer
[Tom] Steyer is specifically spending money on candidates who will take action against climate change.
Jane Mayer
The smaller the office, the more power individuals with big money have.
Jane Mayer
I would argue that there's been a backlash this year [2016]. They [the Kochs] pushed the [Republican] party too far right. The other thing that the backlash is against is the sense that politicians have been bought and sold.
Jane Mayer
I kept thinking maybe in the future editions [of Dark Money] I should sell it along with, like, some kind of, you know, Pepto Bismol or something. I wanted it to read a little bit like a thriller, so that it truly grabbed people.
Jane Mayer
They [the Kochs] want free trade and cheap labour. They own the second-largest private company in America, which is a huge multinational corporation. So they are on a different wavelength.
Jane Mayer
The Kochtopus is the nickname that people who've worked for the Kochs came up with because there's so many tentacles and it likes the shadows. I really feel the first step is to provide the information.
Jane Mayer
If you have an informed electorate, it makes great choices.
Jane Mayer
It's hard for them to run away from their record. The Kochs are businessmen.
Jane Mayer
The book that I wrote is called Dark Money, and it's about secret spending that is very hard to follow. [George] Soros's whole thing is about government transparency, so he spends very much in the open, and the same with [Tom] Steyer.
Jane Mayer
What these memos do is they make legal acts that were criminal prior to these memos.
Jane Mayer
Nothing predicts future behavior as much as past impunity.
Jane Mayer
[Donald] Trump has put forward a list of people he would like to see on the Supreme Court, whom the Kochs would be very happy with too. So it's not all bad for them.
Jane Mayer
The idea is that if we can put our own people through something almost as bad as what they might have to go through if they were taken captive, they will inoculate themselves.
Jane Mayer
There have been waves of reform in the past. I see no reason why they wouldn't happen again.
Jane Mayer
It's quite amazingly radical, what their [the Kochs] vision of America would be.
Jane Mayer
The possibility exists that the Kochs will walk away with even more power if [Donalds] Trump's defeated.
Jane Mayer
Money has much more power down the ballot.
Jane Mayer
David and Charles Koch are pretty much as far right as you can get on the ideological spectrum without falling off. They are far right libertarians, very anti-government, very pro-business, very anti-tax, anti-regulatory, in favour of free markets ruling the day.
Jane Mayer
We would see another president being accused of being illegitimate, and undermined from day one, which is exactly what these donors did to [Barack] Obama.
