The Great Reset: And the War for the World, by Alex Jones, outsold the #1 New York Times bestseller for hardcover non-fiction this week. And yet it was excluded from their bestseller list.
Total consumer preorders from 8/10 to 8/30 were 24,739 copies from Amazon alone, with 11,297 copies ordered during the publication week, for a total of 36,036 copies sold.
I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy, which sold 34,686 units this week, was listed as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Breaking History, by Jared Kushner, sold 13,356 copies in the same week, and was listed as #2.
The Great Reset is #6 right now on the Amazon weekly bestseller list for all books sold in all genres and formats. In just a little over a week’s time there are already 417 Amazon customer reviews with a remarkable average of 4.9 out of 5.0 stars.
The Great Reset sold nine times as many copies as the #15 book on the New York Times list, Vacuuming in the Nude by Peggy Rowe, which sold a grand total of 3,587 copies.
Again, the New York Times excluded Alex Jones’s The Great Reset from its rightful place on the list.
When asked for comment on how The Great Reset could have been excluded for New York Times bestseller list, a spokesman for the NYT insisted it had nothing whatsoever to do with the author or the content of the book. Instead, they falsely claimed it was “just sales pattern.”
For a company that routinely publishes articles excoriating others both for disseminating misinformation and for engaging in heinous acts of censorship, The New York Times should be ashamed. The public should recognize that it can’t trust what they publish. They are an advocacy organization, not a news organization. This is a sad commentary on the state of journalism in the United States.
It is time to end the censorship of conservative voices from bestseller lists.
The Great Reset was the bestselling hardcover non-fiction book in America last week. Period.
They’ve done it before and been caught at it. Several times.
I’ve never even looked at that list and why I, would it’s just full of liberal woke crap.
We are truly living in George Orwell’s world.
Yes - the NYT is a fraud publication. I have known that for quite awhile. Just another confirmation of their fraud status. We are absolutely correct to go on the assumption that everything you read in the NYT is a sham, a multitude worse than the National Enquirer. We live in seriously compromised, scam-endemic times. The NYT is right there - central to the idiotic fraudsters.
Between Alex Jones and the New York Times, I don’t know who to believe so I’m concluding that both are lying.
The only worthy headline would be if they got caught telling the truth.
The NYT is a participant in the Great Reset!!!!
PHOOEY to them!!!!
They were criticized years ago for taking their bestseller list from carefully selected bookstores.
The smaller list that appears under the bestsellers has been called Other Liberal Books That Didn’t Make It. A great line, but I’m not sure the person who said it would want to be attributed here.
Sad fact about most of the book publishing industry is that they like the list and the list likes them. Birds of a feather. You always needed the Times to get a book sold in any numbers.
“The New York Times should be ashamed”
Fat chance.
I seem to remember they did that to Dr. Laura’s books, too.
Indeed. The NYTs list has always been used to promote leftist politics.
I can see those books being excluded from the list, but in what way is Alex Jones' book being sold in a different way than "The 30 Day Drag Race Diet Book"?
The list is only retail sales. Anything with a big discounted buy for corporate or other give-aways or books discounted to the customer is not included.
The Wall Street Journal list always has a business-book section. Maybe that list includes the corporate give-aways, I’m not sure. The Journal also includes children’s books in its fiction list. LOL.
I’m not sure about the second part of what you said. There might be other hidden ways they don’t tell the public the whole truth, in order to further promote their preferences, but basically it is their newspaper. You read it for what it’s worth, with plenty of your own caveats.
