Koch Industries advertising on TV now

I was watching Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN yesterday and saw multiple commercials for Koch. Very touchy feely, very, these are all of the good things we make and do for you.

It was interesting to see the commercials during his show as he is more international and less political (certainly less conservative).

It also made me appreciate that Koch Industries has suffered from the negative press and feels they must do some PR commercials to try to counteract this - to say they are really doing good things in the USA.

Anyone else see Koch Industries ads - what shows/times of day?
