corruption is in no way limited to quid pro quo bribery — by any vernacular or legal definition of the term. what should we be inferring about the NY Times’ reporting from this?
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.
