The Economist Took a Close Look at the NYT's Bestseller List and Found What Conservatives Long Suspected

It’s the New York Times’ best seller list.

If the New York Times doesn’t like your book it still may be a best seller, but it’s not a New York Times best seller.

*****

I wonder if the NYT has any kind of transparency as to how they determine what books are selling more than others to make their list?

Confirmation is made when subject is officially denied.

[Zhang Fei]

It’s a list of popular books its left-wing audience might want to read. That automatically excludes most left-wing authors.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The NYT “Best Sellers” list is liberal crap. Just like the Oscars, Grammys, and the rest of those liberal participation trophies.

Notice how the Donkey’s rump is very prominent.

Thus falls the road apple.

Why do they lie? They’re a liberal paper.
Many news and political press organizations are conservative ,they don’t lie.

[lightman]

Why do they lie? They’re a liberal paper

They’re a liberal paper bird cage liner parroting whatever the parrot drops them.

Correction:

A recent analysis conducted by The Economist suggests The New York Time’s bestseller list is politically biased against conservatives …

Never heard of the New York Time, Leah.

But yes, we know who you mean, so why bother analyzing the obvious? (Right; The Economist. But why bother citing them?)

Interesting to see this from The Economist, which I gave up on decades ago for its' leftist slant on everything.

[Chickensoup]

No kidding. James Dobson wrote about this in the 90s. It is well known. Ultimately the nyt lies. Lol.

[maddog55]

I read books based on what I like to read not what someone thinks I should read.

I watch movies, news, buy my vehicles, food and everything else based on what I like not what’s on some dumbass list of what should like.

I remember this happening to Dr. Laura during her book writing days. Top of sales but nowhere to be found in the NYT.

[9YearLurker]

I thought they had admitted years ago that they tweaked the list to their liking despite actual sales numbers.

Still maybe a good example for opening some eyes, however.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Look at the Pulitzer.

Look at every media award out there.

Look at the UN human rights membership.

It’s all BS. All of it. 100% of it.

Does anyone have any studies on where bears defecate?

I’ve been wondering for years but just can’t seem to figure it out.
