Media ignoring record corporate profits and zero income taxes with rebates???

Has anyone seen many news stories of the effects of the Republican tax cuts and companies record profits and paying zero income taxes now? I saw an article a couple days ago about NetFlix and posted a thread, and today I posted a thread about Amazon and it was taken down and locked because it was "old" news, although I had never seen anything about it.

It seems to me our media should be pounding it home that the Republican tax plan is a complete disaster. If there is a national emergency it is that the federal treasury is being raided by corporate entities who are contributing nothing and taking millions from taxpaying American workers?

Why are there not endless stories on these record profits and zero corporate taxes?
