Journalists and media people who work for the New York Times, the Huffington Post, and (surprise, surprise) Current TV gave money to President Obama’s re-election campaign, the Daily Caller reported:
Two employees of the New York Times Company also donated money to Obama’s re-election campaign, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Sally Singer, the editor of “T: The New York Times Style Magazine,” donated $500 to Obama in January. And John Stickney, a senior editor for the New York Times Syndicate, donated $300 in December.
Blogger Michael Petrelis first uncovered Singer’s and Stickney’s donations in May. At the time, New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy confirmed that the company’s corporate policy “requires that any employee involved in the planning, creation or oversight of news and editorial content not give money to any political candidate or election cause.”
“In this case he made this donation without direct knowledge of that policy,” Murphy said of Stickney. “He is now aware of the policy and sincerely regrets having made the donation.”
Murphy said Singer, the magazine editor, inadvertently donated to Obama’s campaign by attending a fashion event that she didn’t realize was a fundraiser.
The Current TV personality who donated to the Obama campaign was Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan.
