Amazon caught blocking favorable reviews of Mollie Hemmingway/Carrie Severino book on Kavanaugh
American Thinker ^ | 07/12/2019 | Richard Baehr

There is simply nothing anymore that does not draw forth the social justice warriors to do battle. Sean Davis writes in The Federalist:

Amazon is refusing to publish many reviews and ratings of the No. 1 best-selling “Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court,” according to multiple reports from readers who purchased the book directly from Amazon.


The behind-the-scenes dive into the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, which was written by Carrie Severino and The Federalist’s Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway, debuted at No. 1 on Amazon’s list of best-selling books.

The Federalist independently confirmed that many reviews by verified purchasers of “Justice on Trial” were not being published by Amazon. Some fake reviews from non-purchasers and reviews from those who clearly had not read the book, however, were published immediately. As of Wednesday evening, the online retailer had allowed only 16 reviews of the top-selling book to be published.

One reviewer whose critique was published by Amazon accused the authors of “stay[ing] away from using the term rape” regarding unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh during the confirmation process in 2018. A word search of the Kindle version of the book shows that the term was used 41 times by the authors. Another review, from an individual who did not purchase the book from Amazon, wrote that it was the “[w]orst book ever” and rated the book with one star.

I find checking on feedback from consumers to be helpful in making decisions on products such as TVs, computers, washing machines, etc.

‘Authors accused of staying away from using the term rape’

One of the most egregious ‘mistakes’ the presstitutes have done is using the word ‘rape’ in every story about Kavenaugh. The phony accuser never said the word RAPE. But that is what the accusation turned into when it was reported on. She accused Kavenaugh of groping her. NOT ONCE DID SHE SAY RAPE.

Amazon sucks. Just another Leftist conglomerate......the Leftists should hate Amazon, but they don’t.
