Amazon Prime Day is not a GD news event

There seems to be this cabal of businesses that so many of my younger colleagues seem to jump at whenever they do anything and want to make it a "business" story.

Amazon
Apple
Tinder
Yeti
Lululemon
Tesla
Krispy Kreme
Starbucks

"Could you hit the Krispy Kreme store locator and show me the nearest one?"

"251 miles."

"Three markets away. 51 percent of our audience has never been in an airport. Let's find something else."
 
One of the worst ads posing as news was a 60 Minutes piece on Amazon that aired on the first Sunday of December of 2013 or 14. Bezos was interviewed in some fawning manner as he showed off the drone technology that was going to be delivering packages by the end of next year.
