Article seems relatively balanced to me. And I don't think we should fault Ackman for shorting a company he's lobbying against. But having publicized too-close ties w Representative Sánchez, any change in his Herbalife position should me met with serious suspicion. This isn't an article about the ethics of shorting & lobbying, or nutritional supplement pyramid schemes vs. Wall Street -- it's about insider trading.
