That's the way it is with true impartial journalism.
You see both sides of the issue.
There's AMAZON, the Auschwitz of Internet Retailers, running a slave labor camp with 12 hour shifts and a half hour for lunch and punishment for more than a few bathroom breaks.
Then there's...making money by hot-links that take people to the site so they can BUY from these slave drivers.
Here's the NY POST, putting a big promo for AMAZON on their website, telling people all the GREAT DEALS AMAZON HAS. Uh, that's NEWS? That's up there with the latest psycho-religious-asshole stabbing people, or the impeachment hearings, or DeLousio's latest pissing on the quality of life of the city?
The Schindler's List of Shilling went on and on, with all kinds of things you could get JUST BY CLICKING THE HOT LINK.
You know...this is what desperate blogger assholes do, and amateur websites: "Support me, click the Amazon link, and they give me a few nickels."
The irony?
Only a few day earlier, the Post's front page roared about how awful AMAZON is, and how their Staten Island facility is loaded with nightmare robots that automatically ferry boxes around and stack them, while the sweaty humans with sore feet have to keep up.
You can almost hear a Post editor saying to some bigshot at Amazon, "Oh, we did that to get some attention. We can't talk about the Kardashians ALL the time. Don't worry, we'll make it up to you. How about a huge plug for your holiday sales? Guaranteed, we won't give equal time to Walmart, who has most everything you do and at a better price, and without that "Amazon Prime" bullshit gimmick to swipe an extra chunk of change e very month."
So the above was, what, payback for this catchy item below?
The Post remains the liveliest tabloid in town (they compare themselves to the Daily Snooze, which isn't saying much, is it?)
Unlike the Daily News, the Post is still a "free" website, that doesn't whine and quiver, "You are using adblock, let us distract you with an endless amount of eye-gouging ads." The Post also doesn't pull the Daily News game of: "You can only read THREE items a month! Buy a subscription!"
So...you can go to their website and read the rest of the woman's eye-popping article about how exhausting and demoralizing it is to work for Dickhead Bezos, the sneering, repulsive billionaire who, one of these days, is going to truly betray what a Hitler he is and either run for President, or declare himself THE KING OF AMERICA, where they buy Coca-Cola just like vintage wine.
