Full title:
Politico: NYTimes Is Keeping Cruz Book 'A Time for Truth' Off Bestseller List, Gives Shifty Answer As to Why…
To: markomalley
I’m guessing they think that the Cruz Campaign, his SuperPac and/or wealthy donors are buying up the book in bulk quantities to try to get it onto the list.
For reference, this is exactly what Joe Kennedy Sr. did with JFK’s books, including Profiles in Courage. But it’s still considered to have been a best seller ...

Yeah, “shifty” is exactly the word I was looking for.

Pay no attention to that east coast, leftist rag’s little list. Just look at sales on Amazon and other sites that base their ranking on the numbers. The Times is last century’s news. It’s wholly irrelevant.

What they mean is they hate Ted Cruz and wouldn’t put him on the best sellers list if he was selling a million copies a day.

So the liberal NY Times have this complicated algorithm to determine best sellers which results in the most conservative presidential candidates’ book not making the list despite sales which would otherwise qualify it?
What are the odds! An amazing coincidence!

I understand that if they DID simply go by numbers, the Bible would be number one every single week. So their criteria must specifically take that one out.

Let us see these so-called standards, if they actually exist...

Just like the old Soviet Union, this bunch of Democrat Communists can’t stand the truth. They were confounded when the USSR collapsed in a matter of weeks. Our Leftist-bubble dwellers will be just as surprised.

Did they list Hillary’s turkey on their bogus list? Of course they did, proving again that they have NO standards.
Now I will get several copies of Ted cruz’s book and donate them to local libraries so they can enlighten citizens in this area.

They pretend they are doing complex analysis but the truth is that they skew the data. They give extra weight to their favorite bookstores—and those are not in Houston.

The NYT has been moribund for several years now. Hope that they repent and recover.
