Massive outage reveals disturbing power of Amazon (Full show)

Amazon Web Services is suffering an enormous outage, causing disruptions in a host of apps. It has affected users around the world, as AWS stored the apps’ data in a central location somewhere on the east coast of North America. It sounds incredible, but the fact is that 40 percent of the internet depends on AWS to function. So why the muted media response? And what does the situation say about Amazon’s power over our access to information as well as its vulnerability? Investigative journalist Ben Swann joins Scottie Nell Hughes to discuss the troubling ramifications. (17:49)

But first, CNN host Don Lemon is taking heat for coverage of his buddy Jussie Smollet’s trial – or lack thereof – by conveniently not mentioning his own role in reportedly tipping off the “Empire” star about the police investigation. This as Smollet testified in his own defense, saying he was the victim of a racist attack, and that it wasn’t a “hoax”. RT’s John Huddy has more.

President Biden and his Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed reports of Biden’s compensation plan for separated migrant families and his imperfect Afghanistan pullout as “garbage” and “irresponsible,” respectively. Are these Trump tactics evidence of the headache any incumbent administration ought to expect from a free and vigorous press? Does it vindicate those who defended the extreme scrutiny and intense criticism President Trump endured while in office against those who decried it as nakedly partisan? Steve Gruber of “The Steve Gruber Show”: and Steve Navarrette of “Navarrette Nation” share their analysis.

Plus, RT America’s Trinity Chavez reports on a new initiative whereby Meta (formerly known as Facebook) intends to collaborate with StopNCII.org to confront the problem of non-consensual intimate images, such as nude photographs exchanged between lovers and then vindictively leaked or the threat thereof used in blackmail.
