Amazon Livestreamed All 4 Nights of DNC, Ignores RNC Day 1
Breitbart ^ | August 25 2020 | DAVID NG

Posted on 08/25/2020 12:35:19 PM PDT by knighthawk

Amazon Prime Video did not offer a live stream of the Republican National Convention during primetime on Monday after it livestreamed all four nights of the Democratic National Convention last week.

The RNC blackout meant that Amazon Prime subscribers couldn’t watch the first night of the convention through the Prime Video mobile app or through Fire TV devices. Breitbart News made multiple attempts to search for a primetime RNC livestream on Amazon but only found archived RNC footage from earlier in the day.

Multiple Amazon Prime subscribers took to social media to complain about the RNC blackout Monday evening. Amazon’s official customer service Twitter account said that its RNC livestream for Monday covered the period from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

That’s a political contribution then and Amazon and Bezos should be fined to the maximum amount.

In-kind contribution to the DNC. Illegal.

ROKU had it streaming. Clicked on it.

And was just biased ABC coverage. I lasted about 30 seconds.

Looks that way to me. But however large the fine, Bezos probably has that much in his pocket as chump change.

Right the maximum fine would be a rounding error for Bezos.

I had to go on YouTube, couldn’t find it broadcast without a ton of soul-sucking hateful and very unwelcome commentary. If I wanted to watch that crap I would have watched the DNC longer than I did.

You can get to it through the YouTube app on FireTV. That was how I watched it.

YouTube app through FireTV. It’s streaming through C-Span and is blessedly free of Lester Holt’s guest commentators and worse. Flipping around on TV was an exercise in futility. You got the same bitter TDS crap on any channel that bait-and-switched viewers into watching commentary.

No No, No Political Bias there ....

Leftists cover up Truth as much as they Lie.

Omission is one of the bedrocks of Propaganda.

Apply anti-trust laws against them.

Bring back HUAC.
