New York Times Refuses to Review Conservative Books (Top sellers on its own list totally ignored)

It came out in 2004, then the paperback with the Limbaugh Letter interview in it was released in 2006. It’s only the second time Rush has let someone reprint one of his interviews.

Thanks for the compliments. Actually, though, PHUSA is not a "textbook," in that Mike Allen and I deliberately side-stepped the textbook market for the reasons you mention. We decided to go straight to the trade market, because it's common these days for professors or teachers who want a book to use it whether it's a "textbook" or not.

It HAS been adopted at over a dozen major colleges and universities by individual professors, as has my other book, "Entrepreneurial Adventure." Among the places that use one or the other are Purdue, Hawaii, U. of Utah, Utah State, SMU, Penn State, Chapman U., Southern Ill. U., and Hillsdale, and dozens of community colleges and religious schools, as well, of course, as U. of Washington and U. of Dayton.

Dick Morris s not a conservative luminary

Yeah, that jumped out at me too. I have a bit of respect for him in his post-Clinton writings, but only just a bit.

I don’t want to see intellectual apartheid.

I'm not envisioning apartheid. I'm envisioning a blanketing of the country with Conservative entertainment, in exactly the same way that we are now saturated with Liberal entertainment.

I think the problem is that there aren't enough Conservatives to even get something like this started. Andrew Breitbart started it, to some degree, with his Big Hollywood section. And I give him credit for that. But there aren't a whole lot of writers writing for that. There must be a fear of outing themselves as Conservatives.

What ever happened to our society, that was once predominantly Conservative, with Liberals on the fringes? Now it's exactly flipped around. And STILL the Liberals are complaining because society is not 100% Liberal. Now the Liberals in our society are calling the Conservatives Nazis and racists. Society has been turned on its ear.

If the market demands something, it is produced. Perhaps this is a tipping point. I don’t really know, of course. However, this latest round of progressive overreach might just do the job for us.

As to what happened: the progressives took control of media and education. They define everything. A majority either accepts or doesn’t question.

Hollywood and the networks have to bore everyone senseless or be seen as propagandists by a majority so that they will be ignored before anything else can find the space to be produced.

I don’t think it will happen or, at least, not in the near future. A balance would be nice, I agree.
