From Wikipedia -
"Brookings states that its staff "represent diverse points of view" and describes itself as non-partisan,[16] and various media outlets have alternately described Brookings as centrist[17] or liberal.[18] An academic analysis of Congressional records from 1993 to 2002 found that Brookings was referred to by conservative politicians almost as frequently as liberal politicians, earning a score of 53 on a 1100 scale with 100 representing the most liberal score.[19] The same study found Brookings to be the most frequently cited think tank by the U.S. media and politicians.[19]"
