Bezos on the Melania movie: "By the way, it appears it was a good business decision. It did very well in theaters. It's done very well on streaming. People are very curious about Melania. So even though I had nothing to do with it, it appears the Amazon team made a very wise business decision."

It also makes a big difference when you don't pay attention to how your propoganda works against you when you miss those _little_ annoying bits entirely.

Here's how it looks from inside Amazon's own #PrimeVideo app and how it gets presented on an #Amazon #FireTV when you view the movies page.

BTW I don't think I've ever seen any video stay listed _anywhere_ when the IMDb's rating is in the sub-basement drain like this one. A swirling 1.6 out of 10?
