NYT reports facts that show absurdity of fraud claim against Letitia James. Not an investment property at all. She bought it 5 years ago for a troubled grand-niece to live in. The grand-niece has lived there ever since. Paid a tiny bit of rent in 1 year. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

I don't how they do spinoffs where the person is introduced in show A, then show B is created and you never see show A people again. Or vice versa. I want to see show A people several times a season. Where it's not an event situation. In the elevator, the hallway, the background. Like real life.
