It's like when the Unions/Lawyers donate hundreds of millions to the Democrats, and the oil/energy/etc donate hundreds of millions to the GOP, etc.
I just see this as such a minuscule issue compared to the bigger issues we're facing at the moment.

So you don't see anything hypocritical about an entity who claims a lack of bias as a core tenet donating a non-trivial amount of money to a political organization? And you don't see a difference between that and, say, a private citizen, or even a corporation who has made no pretense of neutrality making a similar donation?
Hmm.
