I wonder how different the conversation would be if editorial style guidelines dictated that headlines were written as “Government Assesses $0 in Federal Taxes to Amazon”http://fortune.com/2019/02/14/amazon-doesnt-pay-federal-taxes-2019/ …

to zack's point, i don't think that changes the conversation. i have no doubt all their tax credits and loopholes are completely legal; that's part of my concern
Amazon is this administration’s most hated corporation; if you’re worried about them taking illegal deductions, I’m sure that will sort itself out shortly.

i was clear that it's their legal behavior that concerns me, and i see it as a political problem. i don't have to hate amazon to think they have an unfair advantage

Ah, I misread. My original point was: if you believe their tax strategy is legal, then reframing headlines would direct attention where it should be: at the government who is setting the tax code.
