Subject: Cuomo rips New York Times, CNN, others, over Amazon’s $2.8B incentive package Mon Nov 19, 2018 6:48 pm
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday ripped critics across the political spectrum as “totally hypocritical”– including the New York Times, New York Post and CNN — for slamming the $2.8 billion incentive package the city and state offered Amazon to open a new headquarters in Long Island City. “This transaction is a lightning rod for the political rhetoric on both extremes,” Cuomo said in an op-ed. He said that media companies that own the Post, Times and CNN have sought or received similar tax benefits from New York.
