I suggest you change "HN has always been at war with TurboTax" which unless I'm mistaken is a reference to 1984, in which history is rewritten retroactively[1].

I suggest you change "HN has always been at war with TurboTax" which unless I'm mistaken is a reference to 1984, in which history is rewritten retroactively[1]. To me this phrasing seems to imply that half of your links would be strong support of TurboTax.
Since this whole subject includes a lot of doublethink (such as the fact that according to a video someone posted in this thread, the Free File Alliance is a front group to hide free filing), I think it would be better not to include phrasing that suggests doublethink. I could be misreading your comment, though.
It seems that you might not have been aware of this reference? (But the other people responding to your comment are picking up on it.)

>To hide such contradictions, history is rewritten to explain that the (new) alliance always was so; the populaces are accustomed to doublethink and accept it.
