It’s been a busy few weeks in media land, what with Michael Cohen’s sentencing and talk about whether Donald Trump will be impeached, or Michael Flynn’s sentencing and talk about whether Donald Trump will be impeached, or Jamal Khashoggi’s death and how that relates to whether Donald Trump will be impeached.
Mind you, I’m not necessarily saying this isn’t newsworthy. While I don’t think the special counsel needs to be covered with a breathlessness usually reserved for the first few hours after a plane crash (except elongated to 24/7 status), there have been some pretty serious developments in the past few weeks that have changed the complexion of things.
That being said, this doesn’t give the media a pass on reporting other aspects of the Trump presidency — particularly those that might paint it in a favorable light.

bummer
well, the below comment is also not what it seems. read the article. hardly just a tax break for the rich. the only people i know who will invest in low income areas are....wait for it......

it was the high taxes which drove investment out, so if you want jobs back in the cities, in the taxes have to be lowered.
(government investment just keeps people at subsistence levels. unless you consider a tax break as a government investment....))
giving tax breaks to a company like amazon is insane though. they do not provide high paying jobs, nor medium paying jobs. they are going to pay the lowest wages, have a history of abusing their workers and also already get federal tax breaks to send packages of their goods.
Not quite what it seems, another tax break for the rich. https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/congress/artic...
