It's not gotten stale because of anything like that. That's ridiculous. It's gotten stale because it's been over 6 months since Amazon first announced this thing and they've only said anything once, which was almost 3 months ago (top 20). After 6 months, people have gotten a little tired of it. There's not much more people can write that's new on this thing so the articles have waned as a result. At this point, most analysis that comes out has already been done before. THAT is why it's gotten stale. There's only so many articles you can write about who has the top number of tech workers.


It has nothing to do with DC - which I don't believe is automatic to win this though they have a good chance in the end. That whole area was only supposed to have 1 bid, but some jurisdictions didn't want to play nicely either so it kind of split into multiple bids. Amazon picked all 3 because the whole area is a good finalist, but there's more happening in the background with this than most people realize. I wouldn't be surprised if it were DC, but if DC weren't picked I also wouldn't be surprised.
