Time magazine is already celebrating their Best of 2017, and their favorite "Non-Fiction" book of the year is....Hillary Clinton's campaign memoir What Happened. Time assistant managing editor Claire Howorth gushed, "Clinton offers one answer to the question that rang collectively from more than half the country on Nov. 9, 2016. The writing is frank, reflective and a piece of modern history."
It came complete with buying instructions from Amazon, and Hillary Clinton quickly tweeted out how "honored" she was: "I loved writing this book, & Im honored to be in such great company on this list!" Number two on the Time top ten was radical black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates reflecting on Obama during the Trump era in We Were Eight Years in Power.
It also included former Newsweek editor Tina Brown (a Clinton adorer from way back) for her new book The Vanity Fair Diaries, a book on evangelical Christians in politics by leftist Frances FitzGerald, as well as a volume on The Meaning of Michelle, over which Howorth oozed: "This anthology, edited by journalist and author Veronica Chambers, was published just days before the Obamas left the White House, but the essays within feel more relevant than ever. Contributors include Roxane Gay, Ava DuVernay, Hamilton star Tiffany Dufu, New York [City]s First Lady Chirlane McCray and others, examining everything from Obamas fashion to her marriage to her cultural impact as the first African-American First Lady."
On Sunday, The Washington Post also put Hillary's What Happened on their list of the year 50 Best Nonfiction Books of 2017. As usual, the Post included a list of its own current and former reporters in the annual fringe-benefits envelope.
Current staffers honored were Monica Hesse (American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land), E.J. Dionne (One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet-Deported, written with Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann); and of course, the paper's nonfiction book editor Steven Levingston (Kennedy and King: The President, The Pastor, and the Battle Over Civil Rights).
Former Post reporter Glenn Frankel made the list with High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic. There were liberal journalists on the list: former Time editor Walter Isaacson's book on Leonardo da Vinci, New York Times reporters William Taubman (Gorbachev: His Life and Times) and Helene Cooper (Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf), and Boston Globe reporter John Aloysius Farrell (Richard Nixon: The Life).
The Post also honored Daily Show host Trevor Noah as one of the Top 5 Audiobooks for his memoir Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood.
The liberals are the only ones who would give any kind of award for writing a whiney, everybody-but-me approach to excusing her lose to Trump. Everything but the truth. She lost it because she is a lying, corrupt, opportunist.
She lost because she is Hillary Clinton.
What is Time? I remember a leftist magazine with that name years and years ago. But I havent seen it at any magazine vendors or grocery stores or even at the doctors office in ages. It certainly deserved to die for slanting the news so badly I figured it did. Is there still some small remnant still surviving somewhere, or?
Another example of media sickness.
Has anybody actually read this book?
My choice would be Donna Brazille.
Is that a beached whale or is that really Hillary?
This kinda stuff just blows my mind.
Can they really be, I mean really be that stupid?
Certainly some are.
But, someone, a rational person has got to be in charge there.
Maybe they all feel this way and are all trapped in their liberal bubble and they think nothing of this?
Or, maybe they think their audience is too dumb to question them and they can write the narrative for them.
Either they are complete idiots or they are nefarious.
Or, they are nefarious idiots that are hell bent on destruction no matter what.
They, and publications like them are probably getting more hits and reads from Conservatives looking to bash them then from readers that actually buy into their trash.
They’re all deeply embedded with this maniac. To give her ANY kind of affirmation is sick.
Followed by the sequel, What I Think Happened
***************
I’d like to see “What Didn’t Happen”
Hopefully this book tour will be put to rest in mid December
and Hillary can spend some time being a grandmother.
Thanks for your post.....your post is why me and mine are thankful this Thanksgiving.
We thank God for DJT to be the Imperfect Man for This Perfect Time
Maybe I am wrong but I recall TIME actually being more to the right and anti communist in my youth and actually pro American. Was I naive back then or was TIME in the sixties and seventies somewhat on the right?
While alive, Time founder Henry Luce, a prominent Republican,paid reporters, many who whom were liberals, well but controlled them with a rewrite team in NY headquarters which he closely controlled, that edited copy teletyped and mailed to NY to suit his views. After he died the liberals took over and eliminated that control.
Very interesting. It would be well if there were some better representation in the mass media today!
Indeed
Bingo
