It's July, which means the countless media orgs that claim to do journalism will run lengthy stories on this super-important topic: Amazon's "Prime Day" sale.
The articles will all link to products which, if bought by readers who click the links so helpfully included in the articles, will result in a cut of the selling price being collected by -- of course -- the media organization.
It's embarrassing.
