This article is HIGHLY DECEPTIVE–a complete disgrace to any reputable journalist or publication. But then, it's the DB; what can you expect??

All the article tells us that 8chan's owner, Jim Watkins, uses Amazon to market audio book business. There is nothing illegal or immoral about that. Daily Beast translates that into '"Amazon funds 8chan."'

Looks like Daily Beast is trying to put pressure on Amazon to stop selling Watkins' products, because he uses the proceeds to support 8chan–which DB says is "a wellspring of racism, violence, and criminal activity online and in the physical world."

Real story? The Daily Beast is a wellspring of hatred, disinformation, and ongoing fake news online and in the physical world.
