Professor Zetland's point is that the problem lies more with corrupt politicians' willingness to accept bribes to enact terrible policies. Yes, it's unethical of corporations to offer bribes, but it's more so for the politicans to accept them. I'm guessing his reasoning for this is that we elect these individuals into office and so they therefore work for us. If we don't like their unethical decisions, we shouldn't be re-electing them and we as citizens should be doing more to enact policies that don't allow for such situations to occur at all.
