Vox Stealth Edits March 2020 Article “Debunking” Lab Origin of COVID

<p><strong>Left-wing website website Vox has been caught stealth editing an old article from March 2020 “debunking” the lab origin of COVID following numerous prominent officials now saying the lab origin is a distinct possibility.</strong></p> <p>Writer and investor Paul Graham documented the edits, tweeting, “Some of the stealth edits that Vox made to its article debunking “conspiracy theories” that Covid-19 originated in a lab leak between its original publication in March 2020 and now.”</p> <p>The edits include removing the words that the virus definitively did “not come from the Wuhan lab” and saying that the fact the virus emerged in the same city in which the lab is located “appears to be pure coincidence” rather than the previously more definitive “is pure coincidence.”</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="8.4552845528455"> <p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Some of the stealth edits that Vox made to its article debunking "conspiracy theories" that Covid-19 originated in a lab leak between its original publication in March 2020 and now. <a href="https://t.co/RYxZ2B81mc">pic.twitter.com/RYxZ2B81mc</a></p> <p>— Paul Graham (@paulg) <a href="https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1396769717805780994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 24, 2021</a></p> </blockquote> <p>“Vox is editing it articles “debunking” the coronavirus lab leak theory.

Governor Whitmer Becomes Latest Authority Figure to Flagrantly Violate Her Own COVID Rules

<p><strong>A previously unseen US intelligence report has revealed that at least three researchers working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where coronavirus experiments were being conducted, were hospitalised in mid November 2019 with symptoms matching those of COVID.</strong></p> <p>The revelations lend yet more credence to the notion that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak and did not emerge naturally.</p> <p>The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/intelligence-on-sick-staff-at-wuhan-lab-fuels-debate-on-covid-19-origin-11621796228">reports</a> that “The disclosure of the number of researchers, the timing of their illnesses and their hospital visits come on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which is expected to discuss the next phase of an investigation into Covid-19’s origins.”</p> <p>The report also notes “The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/index.html">fact sheet</a>, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 ‘with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.’”</p> <p>According to the Journal, the intelligence comes from multiple sources and is “very precise.”</p> <p>As we <a href="https://summit.news/2021/01/13/report-trump-to-present-bombshell-evidence-that-covid-came-from-wuhan-lab/">reported back in January</a>, as Trump was leaving office he promised more ‘Bombshell’ evidence would emerge linking the outbreak to the Wuhan lab and the Chinese military.</p> <p>Chinese virologists <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinese-virologist-flees-hong-kong-accuses-beijing-covid-19-cover">fled Hong Kong</a> some time ago and effectively <a href="https://www.infowars.com/people-are-going-to-be-shocked-bannon-claims-wuhan-lab-employees-have-defected-are-working-with-fbi/">defected to the West</a>, providing evidence against the Chinese Communist Party concerning its role in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible that this information came from those researchers, one of whom formerly worked in the Wuhan lab.</p> <p>The new details contradict Chinese government claims that the first cases of the virus were not observed until December 8th 2019. They also dovetail with previously unconfirmed claims by the <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back">South China Morning Post</a> that there exists Chinese government data documenting initial cases on November 17, 2019, more than three weeks earlier.</p> <p>Commenting on the revelations, David Asher, the State Department’s former lead investigator on the origins of the virus said it is “very doubtful that three people in highly protected circumstances” all became sick with “severe conditions all in the same week, and it didn’t have anything to do with the coronavirus.”</p> <p>Asher has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/top-state-official-coronavirus-bioweapon-accident">previously said</a> that the intelligence points to an involvement of the Chinese military conducting bioweapons research at the lab.</p> <p>“Motive, cover-up, conspiracy, all the hallmarks of guilt are associated with this. And the fact that the initial cluster of victims surrounded the very institute that was doing the highly dangerous, if not dubious research is significant,” Asher said.</p> <p>China’s Foreign Ministry has responded to the developments by issuing a response insisting that there were no reported Covid-19 cases among staff and students at the virology institute.</p> <p>Last week, GOP representatives on the House Intelligence Committee <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/17/gop-reps-demand-intel-update-from-biden-on-wuhan-lab-leak-possibility/">demanded an update</a> from the White House and the Director of National Intelligence on the possibility that the coronavirus leaked from the lab in Wuhan.</p> <p>The Republicans, led by Ranking Member Devin Nunes also want access to any intelligence on the <a href="https://archives.infowars.com/global-bombshell-china-admits-to-developing-testing-covid-19-in-wuhan-level-4-lab/">“gain of function” research</a> that was undertaken at the Wuhan lab in conjunction with US agencies.</p> <p>Even Biden’s own CDC Director <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/20/bidens-cdc-director-says-lab-origin-of-covid-19-a-possibility/">said this week</a> that there is a “possibility” that the COVID-19 virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab.</p> <p>Leftist media and ‘fact checking’ outlets have repeatedly dismissed the notion as a ‘conspiracy theory’, but are <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/21/politifact-forced-to-pull-fact-check-that-debunked-lab-leak-origin-of-covid/">now doing an about face on the matter.</a></p> <p>As Infowars <a href="https://archives.infowars.com/global-bombshell-china-admits-to-developing-testing-covid-19-in-wuhan-level-4-lab/">reported in April 2020</a>, the NIH awarded a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct coronavirus gain of function research.</p> <p>Additionally, the results of the US-backed gain of function research at Wuhan was published in 2017 under the heading, “<a href="https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698">Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus</a>.”</p> <p>White House Medical advisor Dr Anthony Fauci has come under <a href="https://www.infowars.com/posts/tucker-carlson-calls-for-investigation-into-fauci-wuhan-lab-connection/">increased scrutiny</a> as the NIH’s involvement with the Wuhan lab is being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-niaid-wuhan-lab-funding-ron-johnson-coronavirus">called into question.</a></p> <p>Fauci is now backtracking on previous dismissals of the lab leak theory, and even admitting to his own involvement in the research that was going on there.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure> <p>As we <a href="https://summit.news/2021/01/04/us-national-security-still-believes-coronavirus-leaked-from-chinese-lab/">reported earlier in the year</a>, top US National Security officials have indicated that they believe the most credible theory on the origin of COVID-19 is that it escaped from the Chinese laboratory.</p> <p>It previously emerged that the Wuhan lab had held a coronavirus sample that was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/virus-samples-with-96-resemblance-to-covid-19-were-sent-to-wuhan-lab-in-2013-311205">96.2 per cent the same as Covid-19</a> for almost a decade. This prompted the speculation about the origin of the virus.</p> <p>In addition, <a href="https://summit.news/2020/06/15/report-wuhan-lab-took-delivery-of-worlds-deadliest-viruses-months-prior-to-coronavirus-outbreak/">previous reports</a> have suggested that the Institute took a shipment of some of the world’s deadliest pathogens just weeks before the outbreak of the coronavirus. It is also known that the lab was tampering with natural pathogens and mutating them to become more infectious.</p> <p>The notion of the virus coming from the Wuhan lab is not some fringe conspiracy theory, rather it has been advocated by leading scientific, intelligence and political figures globally.</p> <p>Former CDC director Robert Redfield, a leading virologist, <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/26/former-cdc-director-tells-cnn-coronavirus-likely-escaped-from-wuhan-lab/">told CNN in March</a> that he believes the coronavirus may have escaped from the Wuhan lab as far back as September 2019.</p> <p>A prominent German scientist with the University of Hamburg <a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/19/german-university-study-most-likely-covid-came-from-wuhan-lab-leak/">released findings</a> in February of a year long study that concludes the most likely cause of the coronavirus pandemic was a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.</p> <p>Several other <a href="https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4068627">prominent researchers</a> and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8249875/Wuhan-laboratory-scientists-did-absolutely-crazy-things-alter-coronavirus.html">scientists</a> <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/18/austrian-study-finds-sign-of-human-intervention-in-coronavirus/">have also noted</a> that the lab <a href="https://summit.news/2020/04/24/us-lab-director-who-visited-wuhan-viral-facilty-accidents-happen/">must be investigated</a>.</p> <p>A select group of the world’s leading scientists recently <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/14/worlds-leading-scientists-who-has-failed-to-make-balanced-consideration-on-possibility-covid-leaked-from-chinese-lab/">penned an open letter</a> urging more investigation into the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic was caused by a leak from the Institute, saying that the World Health Organisation has dismissed the notion without proper consideration.</p> <p>Other <a href="https://summit.news/2020/06/04/former-mi6-head-coronavirus-is-man-made-released-from-a-lab/">Intelligence figures</a> <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/04/two-separate-reports-confirm-most-intel-agencies-in-us-believe-coronavirus-came-from-wuhan-lab/">across the globe</a> have also <a href="https://summit.news/2020/04/28/report-five-global-intelligence-agencies-investigating-wuhan-bat-scientist-over-virus-lab-leak/">called for the Wuhan lab to be investigated.</a></p> <p>The WHO previously complained that it had <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/01/pathetic-who-complains-it-has-not-been-invited-to-investigate-coronavirus-outbreak-by-china/">‘not been invited’</a> by China to investigate the outbreak, and has continually been criticised for <a href="https://www.infowars.com/sources-tell-fox-news-who-was-complicit-in-helping-china-cover-up-coronavirus-leak-from-wuhan-lab/">propping up Communist Party talking points</a>.</p> <p>As we previously <a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/09/who-absolves-china-of-blame-for-covid-after-visiting-virus-lab-for-just-3-hours/">highlighted</a>, after spending months trying to negotiate a visit, WHO officials largely absolved China of blame for the COVID-19 pandemic after visiting a virus lab in Wuhan for just 3 hours.</p> <p><strong>SUBSCRIBE on YouTube:</strong></p> Follow on Twitter: <a class="twitter-follow-button" href="https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet" data-show-count="false">Follow @PrisonPlanet</a> <p>———————————————————————————————————————<br /> Brand <strong>new merch</strong> now available!

New York Times Highlights “Paradigm Shift” of Declining Global Fertility Rates

<p><strong>The New York Times has published a lengthy article revealing how the world is undergoing a “paradigm shift” of rapidly declining fertility rates, but fails to mention the possibility that environmental pollutants such as plastic chemicals are playing any role in the decline.</strong></p> <p>In an article entitled ‘Long Slide Looms for World Population, With Sweeping Ramifications’, the NYT reveals how there is a global “fertility bust” which represents “a dizzying reversal unmatched in recorded history that will make first-birthday parties a rarer sight than funerals, and empty homes a common eyesore.”</p> <p>The piece notes how a demographic time bomb has the potential to cause social and economic catastrophe, but celebrates the notion that it would be good for the environment.</p> <p>“A planet with fewer people could ease pressure on resources, slow the destructive impact of climate change and reduce household burdens for women,” write the authors.</p> <p>The authors highlight how virtually every area of the world except for Africa, where the population will continue to grow, will be hit by rapidly dropping fertility rates.</p> <p>“Like an avalanche, the demographic forces — pushing toward more deaths than births — seem to be expanding and accelerating,” states the piece, adding, “Demographers now predict that by the latter half of the century or possibly earlier, the global population will enter a sustained decline for the first time.”</p> <p>Nowhere in the lengthy article is it mentioned that there could be cultural or environmental factors causing the drop in birth rates or anything beyond prosaic economic factors.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true" readability="11.276450511945"> <p lang="en"

top environmental scientist recently warned that plastic pollution is shrinking penises and making men infertile, meaning most of them won’t be able to produce sperm by 2045.</p> <p>“Phathalates mimic

an animal it might be “heading toward extinction in western nations” and that one of the potential causes of testosterone and sperm counts are plummeting across Europe and North America was “pollution and chemicals in our food, clothes and water.”</p> <p>The establishment has also relentlessly promoted the ‘virtues’ of not having children to westerners for decades, one of the <a

Valentine’s Day.</p> <p>The NYT piece also completely fails to mention how many of the same people now pushing global warming alarmism also pushed the ‘population bomb’ myth for decades from the 1960’s onwards.</p> <p>America’s fertility rate currently stands at 1.8 births per woman.</p> <p>From 2007 to 2011 the fertility rate in the U.S. declined 9% in the space of just 4 years.</p> <p>In 2016, the U.S. fertility rate fell to 59.8 births per 1,000 women, the lowest since records began.</p> <p>Fertility rates for white women were down in every US state in 2017, while among black and

Support For Black Lives Matter Drops to Two Year Low

UK Health Secretary Suggests Critics of Vaccine Passports Are “Crazies”

<p><strong>A previously unseen US intelligence report has revealed that at least three researchers working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where coronavirus experiments were being conducted, were hospitalised in mid November 2019 with symptoms matching those of COVID.</strong></p> <p>The revelations lend yet more credence to the notion that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak and did not emerge naturally.</p> <p>The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/intelligence-on-sick-staff-at-wuhan-lab-fuels-debate-on-covid-19-origin-11621796228">reports</a> that “The disclosure of the number of researchers, the timing of their illnesses and their hospital visits come on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which is expected to discuss the next phase of an investigation into Covid-19’s origins.”</p> <p>The report also notes “The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department <a href="https://2017-2021.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/index.html">fact sheet</a>, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 ‘with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.’”</p> <p>According to the Journal, the intelligence comes from multiple sources and is “very precise.”</p> <p>As we <a href="https://summit.news/2021/01/13/report-trump-to-present-bombshell-evidence-that-covid-came-from-wuhan-lab/">reported back in January</a>, as Trump was leaving office he promised more ‘Bombshell’ evidence would emerge linking the outbreak to the Wuhan lab and the Chinese military.</p> <p>Chinese virologists <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinese-virologist-flees-hong-kong-accuses-beijing-covid-19-cover">fled Hong Kong</a> some time ago and effectively <a href="https://www.infowars.com/people-are-going-to-be-shocked-bannon-claims-wuhan-lab-employees-have-defected-are-working-with-fbi/">defected to the West</a>, providing evidence against the Chinese Communist Party concerning its role in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible that this information came from those researchers, one of whom formerly worked in the Wuhan lab.</p> <p>The new details contradict Chinese government claims that the first cases of the virus were not observed until December 8th 2019. They also dovetail with previously unconfirmed claims by the <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back">South China Morning Post</a> that there exists Chinese government data documenting initial cases on November 17, 2019, more than three weeks earlier.</p> <p>Commenting on the revelations, David Asher, the State Department’s former lead investigator on the origins of the virus said it is “very doubtful that three people in highly protected circumstances” all became sick with “severe conditions all in the same week, and it didn’t have anything to do with the coronavirus.”</p> <p>Asher has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/top-state-official-coronavirus-bioweapon-accident">previously said</a> that the intelligence points to an involvement of the Chinese military conducting bioweapons research at the lab.</p> <p>“Motive, cover-up, conspiracy, all the hallmarks of guilt are associated with this. And the fact that the initial cluster of victims surrounded the very institute that was doing the highly dangerous, if not dubious research is significant,” Asher said.</p> <p>China’s Foreign Ministry has responded to the developments by issuing a response insisting that there were no reported Covid-19 cases among staff and students at the virology institute.</p> <p>Last week, GOP representatives on the House Intelligence Committee <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/17/gop-reps-demand-intel-update-from-biden-on-wuhan-lab-leak-possibility/">demanded an update</a> from the White House and the Director of National Intelligence on the possibility that the coronavirus leaked from the lab in Wuhan.</p> <p>The Republicans, led by Ranking Member Devin Nunes also want access to any intelligence on the <a href="https://archives.infowars.com/global-bombshell-china-admits-to-developing-testing-covid-19-in-wuhan-level-4-lab/">“gain of function” research</a> that was undertaken at the Wuhan lab in conjunction with US agencies.</p> <p>Even Biden’s own CDC Director <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/20/bidens-cdc-director-says-lab-origin-of-covid-19-a-possibility/">said this week</a> that there is a “possibility” that the COVID-19 virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab.</p> <p>Leftist media and ‘fact checking’ outlets have repeatedly dismissed the notion as a ‘conspiracy theory’, but are <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/21/politifact-forced-to-pull-fact-check-that-debunked-lab-leak-origin-of-covid/">now doing an about face on the matter.</a></p> <p>As Infowars <a href="https://archives.infowars.com/global-bombshell-china-admits-to-developing-testing-covid-19-in-wuhan-level-4-lab/">reported in April 2020</a>, the NIH awarded a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct coronavirus gain of function research.</p> <p>Additionally, the results of the US-backed gain of function research at Wuhan was published in 2017 under the heading, “<a href="https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1006698">Discovery of a rich gene pool of bat SARS-related coronaviruses provides new insights into the origin of SARS coronavirus</a>.”</p> <p>White House Medical advisor Dr Anthony Fauci has come under <a href="https://www.infowars.com/posts/tucker-carlson-calls-for-investigation-into-fauci-wuhan-lab-connection/">increased scrutiny</a> as the NIH’s involvement with the Wuhan lab is being <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-niaid-wuhan-lab-funding-ron-johnson-coronavirus">called into question.</a></p> <p>Fauci is now backtracking on previous dismissals of the lab leak theory, and even admitting to his own involvement in the research that was going on there.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure> <p>As we <a href="https://summit.news/2021/01/04/us-national-security-still-believes-coronavirus-leaked-from-chinese-lab/">reported earlier in the year</a>, top US National Security officials have indicated that they believe the most credible theory on the origin of COVID-19 is that it escaped from the Chinese laboratory.</p> <p>It previously emerged that the Wuhan lab had held a coronavirus sample that was <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/virus-samples-with-96-resemblance-to-covid-19-were-sent-to-wuhan-lab-in-2013-311205">96.2 per cent the same as Covid-19</a> for almost a decade. This prompted the speculation about the origin of the virus.</p> <p>In addition, <a href="https://summit.news/2020/06/15/report-wuhan-lab-took-delivery-of-worlds-deadliest-viruses-months-prior-to-coronavirus-outbreak/">previous reports</a> have suggested that the Institute took a shipment of some of the world’s deadliest pathogens just weeks before the outbreak of the coronavirus. It is also known that the lab was tampering with natural pathogens and mutating them to become more infectious.</p> <p>The notion of the virus coming from the Wuhan lab is not some fringe conspiracy theory, rather it has been advocated by leading scientific, intelligence and political figures globally.</p> <p>Former CDC director Robert Redfield, a leading virologist, <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/26/former-cdc-director-tells-cnn-coronavirus-likely-escaped-from-wuhan-lab/">told CNN in March</a> that he believes the coronavirus may have escaped from the Wuhan lab as far back as September 2019.</p> <p>A prominent German scientist with the University of Hamburg <a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/19/german-university-study-most-likely-covid-came-from-wuhan-lab-leak/">released findings</a> in February of a year long study that concludes the most likely cause of the coronavirus pandemic was a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.</p> <p>Several other <a href="https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4068627">prominent researchers</a> and <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8249875/Wuhan-laboratory-scientists-did-absolutely-crazy-things-alter-coronavirus.html">scientists</a> <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/18/austrian-study-finds-sign-of-human-intervention-in-coronavirus/">have also noted</a> that the lab <a href="https://summit.news/2020/04/24/us-lab-director-who-visited-wuhan-viral-facilty-accidents-happen/">must be investigated</a>.</p> <p>A select group of the world’s leading scientists recently <a href="https://summit.news/2021/05/14/worlds-leading-scientists-who-has-failed-to-make-balanced-consideration-on-possibility-covid-leaked-from-chinese-lab/">penned an open letter</a> urging more investigation into the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic was caused by a leak from the Institute, saying that the World Health Organisation has dismissed the notion without proper consideration.</p> <p>Other <a href="https://summit.news/2020/06/04/former-mi6-head-coronavirus-is-man-made-released-from-a-lab/">Intelligence figures</a> <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/04/two-separate-reports-confirm-most-intel-agencies-in-us-believe-coronavirus-came-from-wuhan-lab/">across the globe</a> have also <a href="https://summit.news/2020/04/28/report-five-global-intelligence-agencies-investigating-wuhan-bat-scientist-over-virus-lab-leak/">called for the Wuhan lab to be investigated.</a></p> <p>The WHO previously complained that it had <a href="https://summit.news/2020/05/01/pathetic-who-complains-it-has-not-been-invited-to-investigate-coronavirus-outbreak-by-china/">‘not been invited’</a> by China to investigate the outbreak, and has continually been criticised for <a href="https://www.infowars.com/sources-tell-fox-news-who-was-complicit-in-helping-china-cover-up-coronavirus-leak-from-wuhan-lab/">propping up Communist Party talking points</a>.</p> <p>As we previously <a href="https://summit.news/2021/02/09/who-absolves-china-of-blame-for-covid-after-visiting-virus-lab-for-just-3-hours/">highlighted</a>, after spending months trying to negotiate a visit, WHO officials largely absolved China of blame for the COVID-19 pandemic after visiting a virus lab in Wuhan for just 3 hours.</p> <p><strong>SUBSCRIBE on YouTube:</strong></p> Follow on Twitter: <a class="twitter-follow-button" href="https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet" data-show-count="false">Follow @PrisonPlanet</a> <p>———————————————————————————————————————<br /> Brand <strong>new merch</strong> now available!

Why Amazon is paying $9 billion for MGM and James Bond

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/cG4u_JSUC43drZKsMEVgp_PJH1M=/0x0:1920x1005/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22536883/daniel_craig_james_bond_no_time_to_die.jpeg" /></div> <p>Big tech companies have been eyeing big media companies for years — but they’ve never gotten together before. Now it’s finally, probably happening: Amazon is getting ready to pay $9 billion for MGM Holdings, the Hollywood studio that brings you James Bond and a smattering of other stuff, like the <em>Pink Panther</em> movies and <em>The Handmaid’s Tale</em> TV show.</p> <p>Which leads to some questions. Why now? Why Amazon? Why MGM? And, just as important: Will regulators let it happen?</p> <p>Short answers here: <a href="https://www.vox.com/2018/1/23/16905844/media-landscape-verizon-amazon-comcast-disney-fox-relationships-chart">The media world is consolidating</a> and there aren’t many targets left for a would-be acquirer. Amazon has spent many billions on video without much to show for it, and thinks owning a studio — and, crucially, the rights to the intellectual property the studio owns — could help it create Really Big Movies and TV Shows You Really Want To Watch. Not so much because it wants to own streaming, but because it wants you to keep coming to Amazon. MGM, meanwhile, has been trying to sell itself for years.</p> <p>And the way regulators respond to this will be fascinating: Amazon will claim that it’s too small in video for this to pose a competitive threat. On the other hand, Amazon is already in regulators’ cross-hairs. In theory that’s for running a marketplace and selling its own items in the same marketplace, but really just for being so ... big. So this is akin to waving a red flag in front of the likes of <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/27/22404493/amy-klobuchar-interview-antitrust-book-hearings-big-tech">Sen. Amy Klobuchar</a> and daring her to charge.</p> <p>Now that we’re done with the CliffsNotes, a little context about Amazon and Hollywood, which remains one of the weirder media stories of the last decade:</p> <p>Amazon has been making and buying its own TV shows and movies since 2013 — the same year Netflix got into streaming its own stuff with <em>House of Cards</em>. But you probably don’t remember Amazon’s first shows — <em>Alpha House</em>? <em>Betas</em>? — and you probably can’t think of many Amazon shows at all, except for <em>Transparent</em> and a few others. Which gives you a sense of how all over the place Amazon’s efforts to break into Hollywood have been, despite the fact that Jeff Bezos has spent a lot to make it happen.</p> <p>Bezos is still trying, though: Amazon is sinking at least half a billion dollars into a <em>Lord of the Rings</em> TV show, and <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/22338794/amazon-nfl-10-billion-tv-analysis">$10 billion over 10 years to show an NFL game once a week</a>. And now, probably, another <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-nears-deal-to-buy-hollywood-studio-mgm-11621880759">$9 billion for MGM</a>.</p> <p>So does that mean Amazon is finally getting ready to take on the streaming heavyweights — Netflix, Disney, and maybe <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/2021/5/16/22439154/warner-media-discovery-hbo-max-att-streaming-netflix-merger">WarnerMedia/Discovery</a>?</p> <p>Amazingly, the answer is no: The company is indeed more serious than ever about video. But it’s playing a different game than the “real” streamers. Amazon doesn’t want to compete with Netflix or the other biggies for watch time and subscriber dollars. It just wants you to watch some video and spend some money.</p> <p>That’s because all of Amazon’s “premium” video is bundled into its Amazon Prime subscription offer, which gives you free shipping and other goodies. It is <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/5/3/18511544/amazon-prime-oral-history-jeff-bezos-one-day-shipping">Amazon’s most powerful weapon</a>. For years, Bezos has said that giving you stuff like <em>Transparent</em> made you that much more likely to stick around and order a pair of shoes — or at least keep paying for Prime.</p> <p>What Amazon says less frequently but is also true is that it has built a really nice business selling subscriptions to other people’s video services — services like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/offers/?benefitId=discoveryplus&ref=DVM_PDS_GOO_US_AC_C_A_DISCO%7Cm_5KvBkUoUc_c514506181170" has-subtag="true" data-cdata='{"rewritten_url":"https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/offers/?benefitId=discoveryplus\u0026ref=DVM_PDS_GOO_US_AC_C_A_DISCO|m_5KvBkUoUc_c514506181170\u0026ascsubtag=[]vx[p]22215828[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder","subtag_max_length":99,"subtag_delim_length":2,"subtag_key":"ascsubtag","subtag_data":{"benefitId":"discoveryplus","ref":"DVM_PDS_GOO_US_AC_C_A_DISCO|m_5KvBkUoUc_c514506181170","ascsubtag":"[]vx[p]22215828[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder"},"encode_subtag":false}'>Discovery+</a>, for instance. Amazon sells those subscriptions via its “channels” offering, and it keeps a big slice of the money you pay for those every month. In order to do that, it’s helpful to have stuff like <em>Jack Ryan</em>, the series starring John Krasinski as Tom Clancy’s analyst/action hero, to get people watching video on Amazon. Come for the free shows, then maybe buy some other ones.</p> <p>So Amazon doesn’t want to dominate Hollywood. It just wants a toehold. But even that toehold has been hard to get, and Bezos has been adamant for a while that the way to get it isn’t via niche shows like <em>Transparent</em> anymore — it’s by buying or making big blockbusters that lots of people will watch.</p> <p>That explains <em>The Lord of the Rings</em> and the NFL, and that explains MGM: It gives Amazon one giant movie brand everyone has heard of and still wants to watch — James Bond — and then a bunch of other stuff that could turn into something, maybe, one day. MGM owns the rights to <em>Rocky</em>, for instance, which has already turned into multiple movies, but maybe there’s a way to do a Rocky Extended Universe.</p> <p>What the hell is a Rocky Extended Universe? No one knows! But that’s been the conventional wisdom in Hollywood for the last few years. No one knew you would want to watch movies about the Guardians of the Galaxy, or a TV show about <a href="https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/482924/564546/9358?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fseries%2Fwandavision%2F4SrN28ZjDLwH&sharedid=vox.com" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank" has-subtag="true" data-cdata='{"rewritten_url":"https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/482924/564546/9358?u=https://www.disneyplus.com/series/wandavision/4SrN28ZjDLwH\u0026sharedid=vox.com\u0026subId2=[]vx[p]22215828[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder","subtag_max_length":99,"subtag_delim_length":2,"subtag_key":"subId2","subtag_data":{"u":"https://www.disneyplus.com/series/wandavision/4SrN28ZjDLwH","sharedid":"vox.com","subId2":"[]vx[p]22215828[m]m-placeholder[s]s-placeholder[t]w[c]c-placeholder[r]r-placeholder[d]d-placeholder"},"encode_subtag":false}'>Wanda Maximoff and Vision</a>. But now that Disney owns Marvel, it has been mining the company’s store of obscure superheroes and turning them into giant, popular spectacles. That’s the playbook.</p> <p>And that playbook, by the way, requires owning the stuff instead of renting it. It used to be that Disney and Comcast and all the other big media companies were fine letting streamers like Netflix and Amazon borrow their old TV shows and movies, but <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/5/14/18623063/hulu-disney-comcast-fox-netflix-att-office-friends-streaming">those days are over</a>. Meanwhile, finding other studios that will make big movies and TV shows for you is getting harder, too. Sony, for instance, which used to make stuff for everyone, is now off the table because it has long-term deals with Netflix and Disney. Amazon needed to buy ... something.</p> <p>So: Amazon is betting billions — if the deal goes through, it will be the company’s second-biggest purchase, after it paid $13 billion for Whole Foods — on a Hollywood acquisition that might give it the ability to become somewhat more competitive, in a side business, against people who compete very seriously in only that business. If regulators allow it.</p> <p>Amazon’s argument to the Klobuchars of the world, by the way, will be straightforward: They’re a small player in entertainment, and the acquisition won’t reduce consumer choice.</p> <p>On the other hand: If you didn’t like the fact that Amazon runs a store that sells batteries and sells its own batteries in that same store, you might see similar parallels to running a movie store and selling your own movies. Or, you might simply have a problem with one of the most powerful companies in the world using its billions to buy anything at all. We’ll find out.</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.vox.com/recode/22451787/amazon-mgm-james-bond-streaming-netflix-analysis">https://www.vox.com/recode/22451787/amazon-mgm-james-bond-streaming-netflix-analysis</a>
