The New York Times left a new book about infamous abortionist and serial murderer Kermit Gosnell off its bestseller list, despite its sales success.
When Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer launched last week, it was No. 3 on Amazon’s bestseller list, and took the top slot on the retailer’s “Hot New Release” list. Currently, Gosnell is No. 15 on Amazon’s “Hot New Release” list, yet NYT won’t include it on its bestseller list.
“This is shocking that the cover-up of the Gosnell story is continuing even after the mainstream media were so criticized for failing to cover the trial,” said Gosnell co-author Ann McElhinney. “It’s clear that this is a blatant fake list in a fake news newspaper.”
The media has a long history of covering up news about the dark side of the abortion industry, particularly Gosnell’s murderous rampage. When the story of Gosnell’s killing spree first broke, media coverage was scant. A reporter for The Washington Post tweeted that she thought it was a local crime story, intimating that Gosnell’s “house of horrors” wasn’t worth attention from a national publication. When the Associated Press covered it, they did so as if it were nothing more than a local crime story.
Last week, Federalist publisher Ben Domenech interviewed Gosnell authors McElhinney and Phelim McAleer about Gosnell’s murderous deeds and the media’s decision to ignore the story. It’s on an episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, here.
Just now got the email-—
The ‘Gosnell Movie’ team just posted:
1 new Announcement:
New York Times blatantly excludes Gosnell book from best sellers list
Dear Backers
You will not believe what the New York Times has just done trying to suppress the Gosnell story.
In our last email we told you about the tremendous success we had in the first few days after launching the Gosnell book on January 24th. We got invited to The White House by VP Mike Pence, on The O’Reilly Factor, The Rush Limbaugh Show, dozens of other shows and many non-mainstream outlets wrote about the book.
But most importantly, thanks to you, the Gosnell book SOLD OUT on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books A Million. That’s a lot of orders! In fact, our publisher was able to track the numbers and see that we were the 4th top-selling hardcover non-fiction title in the country. We were excited to see a mainstream paper such as the NY Times be forced to feature and acknowledge the truth about Gosnell.
So you can imagine how shocked we were to discover that we are NOT on the NY Times Hardcover Non-fiction Best Sellers List that was announced last night!
The NYT’s list is supposed to reflect what books people are buying most across the country. But it’s clear now that this fake newspaper prefers to suit their own biases than report the facts and the choices of the American people.
To be honest, this felt like a body blow because the numbers were so clearly showing that we were #4 best seller in the country. It’s also such an irony that the Gosnell story was suppressed by the media in the past and they continue doing so, without any regard for the truth.
We will fight back, but we need your help. Please order the book today and send the link www.GosnellBook.com to 10 of your friends - so we can show the New York Times and the rest of the mainstream media that we will not let them cover up the truth any longer. We need to force them to admit that this is one of the most popular books in the nation and a story that needs to be covered!
Thank you,
Ann and Phelim
Yes. They are in dread of the wrath of fang tooth feminazis.
Which conservative writers HASN'T the NYT snubbed ?
If you ain't snubbed, you can't be pubbed.
In 2009, Michelle Malkin’s Obama book “Culture of Corruption” spent six weeks at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, but the New York Times never wrote a review of the book.
There was a time when being on the NYTimes best seller list meant more sales. I don’t think that’s the case today. The NYT is irrelevant. NOT being on the list will get it more publicity.
I ordered this book after watching Mark Stern interview the authors. Initially, Amazon.com said it wouldn’t ship until late February or March, but I recently got an email telling me to expect it tomorrow. They’ve evidently gotten more copies in.
Steyn, not Stern. Damned autocorrect.
It is well-written. Reminds of the true crime stories of Ann Rule and the way she weaved the story and characters together. The subject matter is deeply depressing and disturbing. There’s just a great sadness in knowing that little babies are being murdered and no one does a damn thing about it. It is truly sickening. The Dept of Health is a joke where it regards abortion clinics and Tom Ridge was a useful tool of Planned Parenthood. Makes me wonder how much of a kickback he got from them.
What can anyone expect from the NYT? It’s not like they respect truth.
Yes. Lies of omission. Big things which they conjure to not exist, but do.
Um, no. The NYT Bestseller list is based on what’s selling in selected bookstores in New York, not nationwide. It’s long been known that it’s possible to game the list by targeting NYC bookstores.
Back in the days when the big NYC publishing houses controlled the industry, it was possible to make or break a book by getting it on or keeping it off the NYT list. Thankfully, this is no longer the case.
It’ll be hidden at ALA libraries and Barnes & Noble, too.
