I dont understand. Im trying to find details/evidence for this elsewhere online with no results. Could it be mistaken? It seems almost impossible
Edit: Well, well, well. It seems like they find workarounds to get money to political CNN commenters.

It wasn't my intention to post half truths.
It's publicly traded, as it is part of Warner Bothers discovery, which is owned by AT&T.
Edit: I don't think you can donate to them at all. They have to release their political donations though, and on a first look they seem pretty eager to donate the same amount to Democrats and republicans at all times. There's third party reports that give them a bad rating because apparently quite a few donations went to Jan 6 supporters and the likes.

The donations TWD makes are tiny
Thanks for the explanation. More complicated than I realized
I fact checked myself today and it gets even more complicated.
Apparently billionaires find loopholes
