Who is tuning in to Amazon to watch lib coverage of the election that CNN and MSNBC already do much better? I watched a few minutes of this out of curiosity and it's a low budget shitshow with shoddy production and camera work. And Brian Williams? Did I miss his redemption arc? Wasn't he banished from NBC for being the George Santos of network news? Is this all Jeff Bezos could afford?

    yeah I saw an ad for this before a movie that had him doing voice over, so at first I'm like, "huh whose voice is that... it's familiar"

    then boom, Brian Williams: the guy who bullshitted so much on the bullshit ass news he got caught out and fired about it.

    I guess the thinking is that nobody remembers unless the news tells them to remember, so it just means he can be gotten at discount by Bezos.

    what a country.

    The only way Amazon can predict an election is if one of the candidates is already added to the cart, and even then they'll usually get it wrong.
