‘Absolutely brutal’! FedEx CEO calls fake news (and then some) on NY Times’ ‘outrageous distortion,’ issues debate challenge
On Sunday, the New York Times published a story about FedEx and taxes, claiming the company’s tax bill went to “zero” after President Trump signed the tax cut bill:
FedEx's tax bill went from $1.5 billion to $0 in a single year. What changed? The Trump administration’s tax cut — for which the company had lobbied hard. nyti.ms/37iwi1h

The CEO of FedEx obviously doesn’t agree. Not only that, but he accused the NY Times of hypocrisy in the process while issuing a debate challenge:
The New York Times Ran a Front Page Story Today Claiming FedEx Paid $0.00 In Taxes After President Trump's Tax Cuts.
The Shipping Company Says The Report Is Fake News & The CEO Just Challenged The NYT Editor To a Public Debate.

This statement has “OUCH” written all over it:
Fred Smith, FedEx CEO, mocks the New York Times story and notes the Times has also avoided taxes. He also challenges NY Times execs to debate.

Oh, but a NY Times reporter said that the FedEx chairman’s debate offer comes with a stipulation:
The founder of FedEx demands a public debate with the Times over tax policy but he wants to bring FedEx’s accountant.

Excellent suggestion! Krugman’s always so very spot-on.

From the look of it, the New York Times got served. Or maybe burned:
