It’s a book for children written by a child.

Unfortunately he probably got a huge advance so there is that.

"Acosta’s book can’t even sell as a door stop or a parking break for a VW."

It might sell well in Russia.. I heard they had a shortage of toilet paper..

I went to Amazon to leave a review and got this...

"Amazon has noticed unusual reviewing activity on this product. Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews."

I'm not a verified purchaser, so couldn't leave a review. Darn. There are 44 reviews and Accosted's book is sitting at 3.5 stars out of 5. Didn't take Amazon long to swoop in and run interference for Jimbo.

He made a bad decision by not including free crayons.

Acosta’s handful of fans should not be near nor own crayons, pencils or any type of scissors.

And Seth Abramson--known for his multi-hundred linked Twitter posts along with being a never-Trumper--has a new book coming out this fall. If I were the publisher I'd pay Abramson off the CANCEL the release of that upcoming book.

Fun to read the reviews on amazon. Mostly 5 stars or 1 stars.

The disdain the 5 star reviewers have for our great president is as obvious as the contempt with which the 1 star reviewers lambaste Jimmy’s high school paper.

Trump-haters automatically buy books like this (and rarely ever read them).

Guess there's not as many Trump-haters as there used to be.

Look forward to seeing it at Dollar Tree, soon........

But a whole dollar? Nothing from Acosta is worth that much. Maybe a lawn sale or a small public library one for 50 cents tops. Maybe.

“The 40% discount doesn’t mean anything — it’s a marketing gimmick that all publishers use. The ranking, otoh, does indeed mean the book is not doing that well.”

True, it’s the ranking that matters, although a mark-down of 40% is more than usual. Barnes & Noble marks-down a lot of hard-cover new releases 10-20%.

1.0 out of 5 starsDon’t Waste Your Time And Money!
June 11, 2019
Format: Hardcover
To be honest, Jim Acosta has never been one of my favorite journalists, but I always considered him to be a credible journalist...that is, until I read an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book. Having finished it, I had to force myself to do so. That’s because Acosta makes virtually no attempt to create a fair and balanced portrayal of what being a journalist is like covering the President and his administration, for which he makes quite clear he has nothing but total disdain.

As such, despite my effort to have an open mind to what he claims to be “a dangerous time to tell the truth in America,” Acosta’s book reads like a total “hatchet job” whose sole intent is to “get Trump” in any way he can. And as a result, I can no longer consider Acosta to be a credible journalist. Rather, I now perceive Acosta to be so biased, one-sided and revenge-ridden in this book that, for me, I cannot consider him capable of even remotely telling the truth in America when it comes to this Administration.

While I had previously thought the term “Fake News” was a bit unfair and Trump’s “calling out” Acosta as one of the leading reporters of Fake News to be exaggerated, this book, which reads like it was written by a petulant child out to “get back” at a parent, has made me completely sorry that I read it — even after getting it for free.

"It's a hard time to tell the truth in America."

It certainly is, if you oppose unrestricted abortion, same-sex marriage, believe that all white people aren't unredeemable racists, and believe that there are only two genders, and that they are defined by one's sexual characteristics at the time of birth.

But exactly what "truth" does ACOSTA think it's risky to tell? Uttering what progressive "truth" will get you into trouble? None at all, because progressives dominate media, academia, and popular culture in general.

What is both sickening and disturbing is that Acosta seems to really believe that he is part of some beleaguered, persecuted minority, when he is in fact one of the powerful.
