This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The Government and Parliament are not responsible for decisions on who can appear in the media.

You could start a petition for a legal requirement for think tanks to register their sources of funding, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
