The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author states that 'retailers hype up their promotions to pull people in' and 'But the New York Times-owned product review website Wirecutter published an article this month saying most of Amazon’s early deals this year so far ‘stink.’' These statements are editorializing as they express the author's opinion about the retailers and Amazon's deals. Additionally, the author selectively reports that 'Consumer data company Numerator reported that a majority of the roughly 5,000 Prime Day shoppers it surveyed after last year’s event saw product discounts of up to 40%.' This statement implies that most products had a discount of up to 40%, but it does not mention the percentage of products that did not have a discount or had a smaller discount. Therefore, the article is misleading by only reporting details that support the author's position.
