TV Ignores Authors Of No. 1 Book In The Country, While Putting Liberal Author Of No. 3,421
Daily Caller ^ | July 11,2019 | Luke Rosiak

E. Jean Carroll’s book accusing President Donald Trump of rape has sold almost no copies, despite major coverage while a book critical of the Justice Brett Kavanaugh proceedings is the top seller on Amazon with no such treatment.

Carroll’s book, “What Do We Need Men For?” is ranked #3421 on Amazon. It sold only 1,900 copies in its first week, according to BookScan data.

By comparison, “Justice on Trial” is the #1 book on Amazon, selling 4,500 pre-orders on Amazon before it was even released July 9, the book’s publisher, Regnery, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The book by Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino documents the rush to judgment and flawed narrative surrounding Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of an attempted sexual assault.

The 1,900 BookScan total for Carroll’s book includes bookstores as well as Amazon. It covers the week of June 30 to July 6; Carroll’s book was released July 2. It does not appear anywhere in the BookScan list of top 50 nonfiction books.

The comprehensive figure is not available for the Kavanaugh book because it was more recently released.

Marji Ross, president of Regnery, said the sales figures highlight a gap between the media and what the American public is interested in, as well as legacy media’s declining influence.

Well, at the end of the day I’ll be buying Hemingway’s book, while the other one, “What Do We Need Men For?” - since I’m a man, I guess they don’t need my money - so I won’t be buying that one........

Why buy it when you can get it for free?

That rape story from that woman sure disappeared from the media very quickly.

Maybe the media decided, by the time she’s chatting about rape fantasies with Anderson Cooper, that she would not be helpful in attacking Trump with her tall tales?

Some poor drone at the Ministry of Truth is going to be vaporized for letting this slip through.

I don’t buy at AMZ anymore, since my neighborhood bookstore went out of business. Will buy this at one of the two indie bookstores in town.

Regnery (pronounced REG nery) is a terrific company. The Regnery family lived in my midwest hometown, lovely people. Henry Regnery offered me a job when I was very young. Biggest mistake of my life to turn him down....that was 23526 years ago, when I didn’t know Democrats and liberals even existed.

Anyway, I’m buying this book from my local bookseller, who will order it in for me if it isn’t on the shelves.

Actually, the Mueller Report.

I wouldn’t call it a book but they put it on some book best seller list.
