Petrelis Files

Donations from media personalities are not limited just to U.S. outlets' employees.

As you can see from the following listings found at www.tray.com, some editorial employees from the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Financial Times and The Economist are also contributing to politicians and political action committees.

The question must be asked: Do these foreign media outlets bar such donations?

Just I believe U.S. publications and broadcasters have a duty to disclose all such contributions, the same standard should apply to foreign news media as well.
