New York Times Responds To FedEx’s Debate Challenge While FedEx Releases Additional Statement

The New York Times responded to FedEx on Monday after the courier delivery service challenged the left-wing newspaper to a public debate over tax policy. FedEx had responded to the Times alleging in an article that FedEx no longer paid taxes under President Donald Trump’s tax-cut bill.

“FedEx’s colorful response does not actually challenge a single fact in our story. We’re confident in the accuracy of our reporting,” Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha said in a statement. “FedEx’s invitation is clearly a stunt and an effort to distract from the findings of our story.”
