So a news site had some report that indicated that Amazon was considering displaying the cost of the tariffs next to the prices on their website. Trump responds to it as though it were fact. The headlines imply it's fact and not just a rumor. Now after Amazon representatives correct the record, saying that it was never approved, and journalists like this opinion writer act as though Bezos is changing his mind because Trump asked him to, and not because it likely wasn't going to happen in the first place. It's like they don't care about what actually happened, rather just about the story being compelling.
- christhecaribou 1y agoWhat actually happened? You speak with such authority, how do you know what “actually happened”? For all we know, this actually was planned by Amazon and Bezos did intervene to change their mind.
- trealira 1y agoTry to find original articles saying Amazon actually decided this. At most you find some random websites saying there are internal reports within Amazon saying they'd display the tariffs. And then more recent ones say an Amazon representative said it was never approved and not going to happen.
