PlainName:
Sorry, but I beg to differ, and strongly so.
Yup, call it 'controversy', call (this) a personal attack (a term often used, in substitute for a simple 'Shut up', we folks don't entertain any conspiracy theorist....
United States has a big problem, with media and large corporations getting tangled up together in very inappropriate ways. Go ahead, dismiss dismiss dismiss. Next thing, you might be starting to call (myself) an 'Anti-Vaxer' Musk lover.
United States has a big problem, with media and state actors sharing info obtained through shady channels. My 'rants', above, initially are a reference to the newly emphasized tactic, that is, smear your critics. Gaslighting and all that, of course not new, but has become a central playbook to distract from incoming criticism.
Some folks, here, have all but abandoned the idea of confronting (the improper relations between certain state actors and many media outlets, including Amazon in whatever capacity they use PR).
That is because FACTS don't get through, or seem to get traction, verbally. Just a stiff armed block and a dismissive retort.
I'm responding, mainly, for other readers here, that might care to think for themselves.
