The Washington Post story repeatedly refers to contributions by "companies" (presumably corporations or LLCs) and by "corporations." Wouldn't it be helpful if the news media were clearer that such contributions (as opposed to possible independent expenditures)
were from PACs funded by individuals associated with the companies and corporations?
It's easier to take complaints seriously when they involve accurate reporting.
