For China, Amazon Supports Democracy Dying in Darkness

There’s something remarkably phony on the front page of every Washington Post, proclaiming the motto, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

A new investigative report from Reuters found that the Post’s owners at Amazon are partners in a propaganda project with Communist China.

Reuters began by revealing that Amazon knuckled under and banned reader reviews on its Chinese website so no one could critique a collection of speeches by Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.

This was “part of a deeper, decade-long effort by the company to win favor in Beijing to protect and grow its business in one of the world’s largest marketplaces.”
