Report: Amazon ‘Quietly Removes’ Special Treatment to Own Products from Searches

According to CNBC, the controversial company “quietly removed some of the most aggressive promotional spots for so-called private label products on its website,” following “growing scrutiny over their market power.”

“Amazon has been ramping up the number of private label brands during the last three years, stoking fear and concern among some sellers and brands that sell competing products on the marketplace,” reported CNBC. “Amazon’s promotions for these products, which started showing up at least a year ago, were exclusively reserved for Amazon’s own private label products and appeared in highly visible areas of the site, like the top of search results or next to the ‘buy box’ of a competitor’s product page.”

Mittens doesn't like Herman Cain

Romney dings Herman Cain for Trump’s Fed

Mitt Romney is not particularly impressed with the idea of Herman Cain joining the Federal Reserve, though President Donald Trump is pushing forward on the possible nomination.

In an interview, the Utah Republican senator brushed off the prospect of Trump following through and officially nominating Cain: “I doubt that will be a nomination. But if it were a nomination, you can bet [what] the interest rates he would be pushing for.”

“If Herman Cain were on the Fed, you’d know the interest rate would soon be 9-9-9,” Romney said in an interview on Thursday afternoon.
