Yeah, I am, but it's a stretch to assume that's behind this, when it could easily be a licensing issue or something else benign.

But I would be interested in an Amazon Streisand service that simply reports things that Amazon has disappeared, such as this and When Harry Became Sally. Maybe there is an ideological pattern, dunno.

The fact that Breitbart is quoted as though it were some kind of objective source says that this is scarcely an unbiased site.

Simple minded here. The fact that we don't know why Amazon pulled Clarence Thomas' documentary is problematic. Amazon seems too large to be pushed around against it's will. The continued speculation is understandable due to the lack of transparency. It would seem an honest company, presumably like Amazon, one of if not the largest company in the world, would have the courage of it's convictions and if they chose to pull it, to simply acknowledge the truth as to why. And if on the other hand there are extenuating circumstances why not state their are, even if for reasons of prudent corporate governance, they must not divulge those details. I, for one apparently lonely long time Prime supporter, would appreciate this level of transparency.

Amazon and Amazon Prime have been very valuable recources to date. Perhaps, one of the reasons they have grown to such immense size. However, not to suggest I am enough alone able to influence them to speak up but better this tack than joining the undue or cancel crowd. Open mic is better.

Solution to this whole feed. Go get the doc on Apple or YouTube and if you don’t like Amazon just stop using them, I did, and I now save $1000s per month. It’s a win win.

Classic conservative move: assign conspiracy to something as mundane as video streaming rights.
