Yup, this article falls squarely in the "misinformation" category, and the author has no experience with tax law, nor does he cite any authorities to support the tax avoidance thesis. He's just winging it, improvising, about corporate tax law. It's crazy how low journalistic standards have fallen as the line between news article and "personal blog" has been blurred.

I am not ascribing ill motive to the author. Just incompetence in trying to write about a very complex topic that is far out of his depth, and doesn't allow for simple moralistic summaries like "Big biz not paying their fair share!".
