People can only get mad at the things they know about. My guess is the Murdoch Network of news organizations will not cover this heavily, if at all.

I looked, but couldn’t see this story covered by the NYT or NPR either…. Can you see it?

Could it be that there’s simply bigger news?

Or they'll cover it and say how this is a win for the American public because they no longer need to use a socialist government website to file their taxes.

  • Which is also why they took down all the payment and audit/penalty management webpages too! Right? Right!?

    … Oh wait. They didn’t? Huh, I wonder where the disconnect is. I guess no lobbyist wrote a check to remove that from the Government.

Sinclair too. US needs more independent media. Or the current media should get good.

  • 1. People have demonstrated they aren't really willing to pay enough for independent media, aside from one or two person shops.

    2. The current media is incentivized to collect ad revenue. Currently, the best known scheme is to outrage or scare readers so they keep refreshing the page. So, in that respect, the current media is doing great business.
