Surely there's some underlying facts involved in this? I mean, if Koch is actually funding it and Soros isn't you can't just switch them.

No, but journalists set their priorities by what they are spending their time on. If you have some politically activist billionaires who invest in advocacy groups, you will always find some topic that angers your audience. The right just pushes the narrative that Sorros wants to regulate the Internet and funding all the Net Neutrality campaigns.

What does he gain from it? Motive is the determinant between activism and greed.
