At a time when democrats are trying to raise taxes.... Journalists get massive tax breaks from dems in big spending bill.

http://www...cial-tax-handout-big-media?amp

On page 1,957 of the reconciliation bill, Democrats have included a $1.67 billion special tax handout to media companies, under the guise of helping "local" journalists. In reality the provision is a product of the DC lobbying swamp and will benefit large media corporations.

Companies of any size are eligible for the tax credit. Broadcast, print, and digital companies all qualify. Each company is allowed to claim the tax credit for up to 1,500 of their employees. How many humble village newspapers do you know that employ 1,500 people?

Seriously. Getting upset over $1.67 billion going to a bipartisan public good ... there are right wing local news organizations ... doesn't make a whole lot of sense when every other bill congress passes includes billion or even trillion dollar giveaways to large corporations and the wealthy.

That same bill preserves the right of pharmaceutical companies to keep legally price gouging the hell out of Americans.

"2017 tax bill gave trump billionaire donors over a trillion dollars in tax benefits"

Because trump was a scumbag doesnt mean you should be.

"a bipartisan public good" its biased left and is certainly not a public good. State funded media... yikes.
