  This is wrong from an academic perspective. Bribery may legally require a quid pro quo but corruption is the abuse of public office for illegitimate private gain. The NYT's definition of corruption would exclude for example self dealing or embezzlement, neither of which require a quid pro quo.

    Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
