The last time I saw lips like that, they were wrapped around one of my fishing hooks.

You have to respect a man with such an expert grasp of his craft. He could probably open a beer with that thing.

That was cool. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to see him try and pop a beer open with it.

Hail Corporate
I know the optics of this look bad and are comical, but the rationale on why this happened is not nefarious.

Amazon puts out a press release
Owner of local broadcasting company seems it important
Passes it down to individual markets and says to run with it

That's inherently nefarious

How is it nefarious?
Amazon is a company most people buy from.  This news impacts most people and the news is objective.

Amazon has denied workers paid leave and terminated employees who have spoken out about unsafe conditions during the COVID-19 crisis.  Including that information would still make this story a PR damage control piece.  Omitting it makes it flat out corporate propaganda masquerading as news.

The point of journalism is doing actual investigation and reporting, not serving as a mouthpiece or stenographer for a more powerful entity.
