Here is Koch's official response to the New Yorker piece:

In addition, some in the media have slammed the New Yorker, as expected. Here's an
example
. To their credit, this "independent publication of the Reason Foundation" does disclose that David Koch has been on the board of trustees for decades and his name appears in the masthead of Reason Magazine.
Here's
another one, also with (former) ties to the Koch brothers.
The_Atlantic
praises Mayers' article.
Oh, and I found this little tidbit:
In a darkened hotel ballroom, on the eve of Glenn Beck's burlesque of self-righteousness at the Lincoln Memorial, some 2,500 activists listened politely to the tall, impeccably dressed elder at the podium as he stumbled through his introduction of the evening's guest of honor, the conservative columnist George Will. The speaker was introduced simply as chairman of the board of the Americans For Prosperity Foundation, the organization that sponsored the event.
Few among the rank-and-file recognized the billionaire David Koch -- heir to the fortunes of Koch Industries -- or knew him as the man who bankrolls their activism, whose largess subsidized many of their trips to the nation's capital to take part in AFPF's organizing conference, and the Beck rally the following day.
