While this may be a more direct or open admission of a &quot;moral&quot; attempt to shape political outcomes, I think it&#x27;s worth remembering that every other major corporation has its hand in the pot, albeit in a less direct fashion, when its board pours money into lobbyists, special interest groups, and media outlets. Sometimes for &quot;moral&quot; reasons, sometimes for economic reasons - but every major corporation is a political player.
