Crown Publishers spokesman Stuart Applebaum says the company is confident the reporting in Joe McGinniss' book is "solid, reliable, and well-substantiated." Applebaum says Crown stands behind McGinniss and the book, "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin."

McGinniss has been sued before and lost. I wouldn't bet on a proven liar.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That's gonna cost 'em.

Enjoy the law suit McDuffus you sick twisted freak.

[Jeff Head]

The publisher, IMHO, is not interested in the truth any more than McGinniss is. They figure with their legal team that they can hold it up in courts and outlast Sarah.

I hope she proves them wrong and takes them to the cleaner. They deserve it.

SARAH PALIN'S IMPACT IN 2012

Truth, outright lies, or mere tabloid excesses, any and all controversy/suits resultant will add to the book’s gross ! IOW “there ain’t no such thing as “bad publicity” ! >PS

[MichaelNewton]

I wonder how much money Sarah Palin will win. More important, how much McGinniss and Crown will lose.

"In 1987, McGinniss agreed to pay $325,000 to settle a lawsuit brought
by the convicted murderer who was the subject of McGinniss’s book Fatal Vision."

"In 2003, Random House released a larger-than-life, massive bestseller
by James Frey entitled A Million Little Pieces. Later, it was revealed that the book
was a fantastical literary hoax that made its way past some of the highest-paid
and most respected editors and lawyers in the literary world. Doubleday/Random House
felt compelled to offer full refunds to those who had bought the book."

The book isn't selling. The graceful thing to do would have been pull it from shelves.

Then again they may have destroyed all the info as soon as Breitbart posted that email and McGinniss verified it. They may think they're safe.

Soros must have promised to cover their losses, otherwise this would be suicide.

"solid, reliable, and well-substantiated."

Even McDuffus has said he had no verification or documentation to support anything he wrote . . . what gives?

[who knows what evil?]

You’re right...the book was fading away, but is now back in Amazon’s Top 100...

[DJ MacWoW]

Except that it isn’t selling. And McGinniss was complaining that interviews were being canceled.

[DJ MacWoW]

Soros must have promised to cover their losses, otherwise this would be suicide.

Ya know, you may be absolutely right.

at #74...LMAO

[Lazlo in PA]

Looks like Crown Publishing better flip the phone book over and call the Lawyer on the back. Palin is going to sue their ass to oblivion.

[DJ MacWoW]

Thanks for the links, Dio.

[onona]

Crown Publishers.

Just might remember that name.

[who knows what evil?]

It WAS down in the #150’s and falling...

[DJ MacWoW]

Good gravy I remember their ads. LOL
