The New York Times has bought into the World Order, and that does not include Jesus, Duck Dynasty or conservative Ben Carson.
Despite being outsold by three books popular in conservative circles, the Times continues to put Henry Kissinger’s World Order above them on its highly-influential weekly list of Print Hardcover Best Sellers.
Conservative authors believe that they are being robbed by the Times, which is vague on how it picks its list.
Consider the upcoming Oct. 12 list of Print Hardcovers.
According to publishing insiders, Kissinger’s World Order sold 5,680 and is No. 4 on the list. Jesus on Trial, by David Limbaugh, sold 12,665, but is No. 5. Ben Carson’s One Nation sold 5,803, but is No. 9. And Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson’s Unphiltered, which sold 7,968, is No. 12.
It was similar the week before. For the October 5 list:
Kissinger sold 8,303 and was No. 3. Limbaugh sold 17,030 and was No. 4. Carson sold 6,937 and was No. 7 and Robertson’s book sold 11,298, and was all the way down to No. 10.
Of course, some publishers note that at least it is good to be on the list. Limbaugh’s book, for example, carries a sticker that screams, “New York Times Best Seller.”
