Expected behavior coming from New York Times. Good on Fedex for pushing back.

You’d think they’d have their house in order before besmirching someone else... good on FedEx calling them out.

I love this idea – of an actual, genuine debate on this topic where an actual corporate executive can make some points (I know they will be Tim-Cook-like spin but debate is better than asynchronous speeches where people talk at each other)

Update: I realized I didn't write the second half of my sentence... which makes me sound like a corporate shill.

The second half is... AND someone on the other side can immediately call bullshit on their spin, but we can have a proper debate on the inadequacy of current Federal tax policy.

Not OP, but I’ll take a stab at it: he’s saying that the NYT is overly liberal, frequently trashes businesses as being tax evaders and plagues on society, misses its own hypocrisy, and doesn’t live up to its historical pedigree when it comes to fact checking.

Journalists and editors should not let the business practices of the paper they work for prevent them from investigating and publishing stories. This is a feature, not a bug.
