Malkin: The invisible woman.
Three of the top four books on the New York Times nonfiction hardcover bestseller list are by conservatives -- and none have been reviewed by the Times. The fourth is Malcolm Gladwell's ubiquitous "Outliers."
Michelle Malkin's "Culture of Corruption," the nation's top-selling nonfiction hardcover book, debuted this week in the top spot, followed by "Liberty and Tyrranny" by Mark R. Levin. Gladwell's book is third, followed by "Catastrophe," a critical book about President Barack Obama's health care agenda by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann.
Gladwell got a review: Levin got a mention in the April list notes -- noting that his debut at No. 1 knocked Gladwell from the top. Also not reviewedby the Times: Ian Halperin's "Unmasked," a book about the late Michael Jackson.
But conservatives who want to know what the NYT thinks of the genre need not despair: Bill O'Reilly's "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity," which rounds out the top ten, scored a review by the paper's Janet Maslin.
