Two congresswomen are asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.’s tax-exempt status.
The letter from the congresswomen continued, “To add insult to injury, The Wrap, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, USA Today, Variety and The HFPA’s response countered, “Unfortunately, it seems their letter is taken largely from previous news accounts that have misrepresented or omitted the significant and thorough progress made in bringing on diverse members at all levels and the imposition of strict new guidelines banning all gifts and implementation new ethics and conduct rules. We look forward to the opportunity to sharing our progress with the Representatives and their staff soon.
If only the Congresswomen could show as much bravado enlisting the IRS against less of a sitting duck... namely Scientology. The cult's tax-exempt status is far more of an outrage than the HFPA taking graft to hand out some meaningless trophies.
