- whakim 7y agoI'm not sure I believe that either. The reason that the article focused on 2018 numbers is that they provide a direct comparison pre- and post- Tax Cuts/Jobs Act. In 2018, Fedex paid less tax and invested less compared to 2017 - despite saving $1.6bn. On the other hand, investment in stock buybacks and dividends more than doubled. Not sure how those allegations are "carefully selected"?

- munk-a 7y agoI think it's unproductive to try and read all news in bad faith, there are very few things that anyone can truly 100% comprehend and in a democracy we need everyone to be at least somewhat aware of things happening in society.
- larnmar 7y agoIt’s not necessarily assuming bad faith to realise the existence of the context which leads to the selection and writing of the articles at the New York Times, or Fox News, or Buzzfeed, or Xinhua, or any other outlet.
- scott_s 7y agoI agree that all news outlets represent the world view of their reporting and editorial staff. I disagree that it is always accurate to call this a "false narrative."
