The New York Times informed Harper Collins this week that it will not include Ted Cruz’s new biography on its forthcoming bestsellers list, despite the fact that the book has sold more copies in its first week than all but two of the Times’ bestselling titles, the On Media blog has learned.

Just more evidence that the New York Times is moribund. The NYT has been providing selective bestselling titles for years. Who wants to use information that is selective according to the whims of the NYT? They cannot be trusted.

Is there an honest and straight-forward listing of best sellers somewhere in some publication?

Do we need the NYT or any publishing company to tell us what to think and what to like? Can you make up your own mind without the NYT?

A few of my friends are authors. The stopped mentioning the NYT best seller list long ago. However, they keep track of their ranking on Amazon, both the sales AND the reviews.

NYT is a dinosaur that only the stuffy, snooty, Obama-butt sniffers care about. It’s not a world class platform anymore.
