Old news becomes "new" news when the topic of tax payments is showcased by the (gag) moderator of the presidential debates.

Chris Wallace has become the Megyn Kelly of 2020.

Well, they lose money because they’re fake news, so I can see why they don’t pay tax.

Exactly. You have to turn a profit in order to pay taxes.

Article is from 2019. A little disingenuous

It still shows the irony of it all, that in 2017, the time claimed by the NYT that Trump paid only $750 federal income tax, the NYT themselves actually paid NONE.

I don't remember seeing any such debate. Of course, that's not a debate the NYT wants to have.

NYT is just a rounding error compared to FedEx.

all these fake news companies are propped up by billionaires to spread propaganda. they make no money. they don't need to make money. so they probably paid 0 in taxes cuz their revenue is 0.

CEO Smith just bitch-smacked NYT Sulzberger (yet another self-hating anti-semite "Jew")

Statement from Frederick W. Smith, Chairman and CEO of FedEx Corporation

The New York Times published a distorted and factually incorrect story on the front page of the Sunday, November 17 edition concerning FedEx and our billions of dollars of tax payments and billions of dollars of investments in the U.S. economy. Pertinent to this outrageous distortion of the truth is the fact that unlike FedEx, the New York Times paid zero federal income tax in 2017 on earnings of $111 million, and only $30 million in 2018 – 18% of their pretax book income. Also in 2018 the New York Times cut their capital investments nearly in half to $57 million, which equates to a rounding error when compared to the $6 billion of capital that FedEx invested in the U.S. economy during that same year.

I hereby challenge A.G. Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times and the business section editor to a public debate in Washington, DC with me and the FedEx corporate vice president of tax. The focus of the debate should be federal tax policy and the relative societal benefits of business investments and the enormous intended benefits to the United States economy, especially lower and middle class wage earners.

I look forward to promptly hearing from Mr. Sulzberger and scheduling this open event to bring further public awareness of the facts related to these important issues.

Don't forget the CEO of the New York Times Company is Mark Thompson formerly of the BBC at a time when the BBC was busily covering up for Sir Jimmy Savile and other elite English titled paedophiles.

I don’t doubt that the NYT paid fuck all in 2017... but is there any other articles about it? This is just the CEO of FedEX saying so. How does he know? Just looking for a better source

I'm guessing NYT ignored all of this.
