Putting your own material published by your own paid staff is like your mom giving you a trophy for playing soccer real good.

RFK Jr.'s book is mind-blowing! I'm reading it right now. Instead of requiring vaccine passports for purchasing food and participating in society, I would like to make everyone read this book, and pass a quiz to prove they read it, before they can purchase even one more bag of groceries. It certainly should be required reading for every future candidate in every future election. No less than the survival of our species may hinge on our ability to quickly learn and respond to the lessons of this book.

Want to know why? Because liberals aren't liberal thinkers. They have no curiosity. They only stuff their brains with their own propaganda to confirm their own bias. Take it from me; I WAS one.

There is no world in which "The 1619 Project" is actually top of a best seller list. Not one that hasn't been manipulated.

I worked for a big publishing house in the 1990s. Even back then a spot on the NYT "bestseller" list could be "arranged" for a price.

Well the Times only deals in fiction non-fiction. It’s kinda their thing.

Here's how he Times describes the Kennedy book, clearly hoping to discourage sales:

"THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI

by Robert F. Kennedy Jr Skyhorse

The anti-vaccine advocate gives his take on the chief medical advisor to the president." A more accurate and unbiased description would read something like this: "The long-time environmental activist offers a startling exposé of Dr. Fauci's government career."

I don't know a single human being that's read The 1619 Project.

That 1619 book isn't on the fiction list? Weird...

Propaganda will never promote truth, it just doesn't work that way; why we can't see NYT as the National Enquirer is kudos to them. They have accomplished quite a feat. However, I do love what Mark Crispin Miller said, and this is a very loose quote "People can usually recognize propaganda when it goes against a strongly held belief, but when the propaganda feeds that same strong belief, they can't recognize it at all." So, as long as you are selling lies to a group that already believes that way, they'll keep gulping it down, and defending those lies, even violently, it seems.

The New York Times has made themselves irrelevant. Everyone but they and the sociopaths they bolster are aware of this.

Oh, the lovely 1619 rework of history, according to the Woke Gospel ... big piece on that in The New Yorker the other day trying to diplomatically perfume a pig.

You mean anyone in flyover America even knows or cares what the NYT does? We all know where the real Americans are & recognize lying with statistics when we see it. BTW, put the post on facebook & twitter...wonder how long it'll be there before censored.

The Times' bestseller list is ... how should I say it ... aspirational. These are the books that the funding sources of the Times *wishes* were at the top. Presto: there they are.

Recently went through an airport carrying a copy of RFK's new book. A lady stopped me - "That book is REALLY interesting!" I laughed and nodded! They pushed things way too far. A lot of bodies - which had been "safely buried" for decades - are now coming back to the surface.

After all is said and done, how many people will blindly give the entire recommended CDC vaccine schedule to their newborn children?

After all, "If they could lie this egregiously about the COVID vaccine, what else might they be lying about?"

The Times continues to be parody...

Believe NYT best seller list is based on copies shipped to bookstores (remember bookstores?) NOT consumer purchases.

Could be mistaken, but these days, who cares?
