Because proper journalism should allow all voices to have their say. If you wanted a one sided view on something, you wouldn’t need journalists, the press releases and self reported (and self serving) statements by interested parties would be plenty.
- gumby 3y agoIn general I agree with your position. But for cases like this, these kinds of statements have been so common from H&R Block and Intuit, and the topic has been wending its way through the system for a couple of decades that if you were a journalist short of time it would be fine to quote some other public statement from either of them. The actual article is about something more interesting: that they are piloting it with states that have state income taxes as well, and that they will be rolling it out in phases (the right thing to do). The response to Intuit isn't about the meat of the topic.
