It says something about today’s corporate media that one almost has to regard their coverage as “anti-matter.” In other words, what the press chooses not to report matters more than what they say explicitly.
That maxim applies to a recent New York Times story alleging that President Trump may owe more than $100 million in taxes related to his harvesting of tax losses on the Chicago skyscraper he developed around the time of the 2008 financial crisis. As with many Times stories, the elements the paper chose to omit speak volumes.
Tax Returns Obtained Illegally
As part of its reporting, the Times article referenced an “obscure” 2019 Technical Advice Memorandum issued by the Internal Revenue Service and noted that such “memos are required to be publicly released with the taxpayer’s information removed.” The Times claimed that this memorandum, “along with tax records previously obtained by the Times and additional reporting, indicated that the former president was the focus of” the dispute discussed in the 2019 memo.
