In their recent podcast, Adam Johnson asks that journalists and “Think Tanks” dislose the interests of their funders, arguing
that if they did, most think tanks would go away because the enterprise serves as a giant information laundering operation:
This is a very liberal demand which is like can you at least disclose the people know and I think that’s really where you give the game away because if they did that they would be far far less funded and far less influential because they kind of nominal or widely perceived neutrality or or kind of academia sheen or branding is what gives them power

In the Citizens United case, Justice Anthony Kennedy raised concerns that corporate knowledge would be lost if corporations were unable to engage in speech (political donations): Government silences a corporate objector, and those corporations may have the most knowledge of this on the subject. Corporations have lots of knowledge about environment, transportation issues, and you are silencing them during the election.
This argument is as artificial as classical economics’ concept of Homo Economicus because it ignores how humans and society actually function.
In reality, when corporations “speak” to provide their “knowledge‘, it isn’t to distribute publications about the environment that their scientists discovered when they studied global warming. Rather, it means that they pay money to political front groups that pay political consultants to create 30-second ads on a completely different wedge issue, like gay marriage or CRT or DEI.
