Media Runs Defense for Amazon After Retail Giant Caught Stealing Millions From Workers

Amazon just got caught stealing millions from its workers, but instead of grilling the retail giant, the media appear to be working hard to run defense for it.

It has been a turbulent 24 hours for retail giant Amazon. First, the company’s founder (and world’s richest individual) Jeff Bezos announced that he would step down as CEO. Then, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that the company had illegally stolen more than $61 million worth of customer tips meant for its delivery drivers.

{Framing is an important concept in media, as the words chosen encourage readers to interpret news in a certain manner. For instance, this week, reporting on the same healthcare issue, CNN framed it as “Biden signs executive orders expanding healthcare access,” while Fox News presented went with “Biden signs order on far-left health priorities.” The first primes readers to see the move as improving inclusivity while the latter fits into a “radical socialist takeover of government” narrative.}

Have I mentioned public relation firms lately? Perception management.

{Perhaps more importantly, in this 280-character media landscape, the majority of people do not read past the headline, even before sharing content, making accurate titles particularly important in conveying information on news and current events. Indeed, one article in Science Post with the title “Study: 70% of Facebook users only read the headline of science stories before commenting” features one paragraph of information before descending into “lorem ipsum” gibberish text has been shared 193,000 times, mostly on Facebook itself (although it is not clear how many people are sharing it as a joke).}

As many here know, a large problem with attempting to persuade others towards better news sources, this same problem especially rings true. bigpawbullets type of people. I know you're watching. You're like a fly on a wall that can't communicate here, but you can't help yourself from being a pest. Eventually the site will become tired of complaints from the community and they'll swat you on out. You're have to except socialism at least to one aspect as soon as the right window near you is opened up and out you go.
