Big Media Bias - Why No Coverage of the Bestselling Book On John McCain?

[Median Democrat]

On Amazon, what is the bestselling book on John McCain? Its "The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't by Cliff Schecter."

The book is new, since it was published in May 2008. Yet, where are the interviews on Fox, CNN, ABC, etc? Is it hard hitting? Yes, because it call Mr. Straight talk a liar. Yet, where is the coverage? Shouldn't Cliff Schecter gets some love? Heck, his book is the bestselling book on John McCain out there. Shouldn't the networks be flooding the networks with coverage for this book?

Again, Big Media does not want you to vote for a Democrat.

1. I'm sending them the link and demanding equal coverage! Although this book is true!

12. The Amazon reviews look good:

http://www.amazon.com/Real-McCain-Conservatives-Independents-Shouldnt/dp/0979482291/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218674438&sr=1-1 4.5 stars out of 5 from 26 reviews; that's almost always the sign of a worthwhile read. I'll take a pass myself since DU and Google are keeping me up to speed on McCain.

2. The question is how can we promote it

I wonder how many DUers purchased and read it. I have to admit I haven't, but I imagine it has plenty of good anti-McCain ammo.

3. I just ordered it!

It was easy. A little over 10 Bucks!

4. I think I'll go buy me a copy right now.

And then maybe some for the library!

Yes, the corporate media should have covered/be covering this one as well!

6. Originally published in paperback, apparently

Which is great for me, as I don't like holding hardbacks (hurts my hand) and I sure don't like paying for them.

I wonder if that has something to do with the lack of media coverage? Do paperbacks go on the best seller lists? They sure don't bring in as much money per copy.

7. Amazon.com Sales Rank: #6,492 in Books - ouch. nt

9. Talk About A Word of Mouth Book - Outsells McCain's Various Books

John McCain has books. Heck, there are movies about John McCain. Yet, here is this little book about John McCain, and it manages to outsell them all without a tenth of the media coverage that Corsi's book is getting. Corsi is getting this huge public relations lift for his book. The McCain book has not gotten squat. Yet, it turns out that people really do want to know the truth.

It is almost sad the degree to which people need to fight to get the truth, and the degree to which Big Media is just a propaganda arm of the GOP or should I say visa versa?

5. Corporate Media and GOP are in Bed Together

and have been since the Clinton years.

8. Well we can buy this book......then they will be forced to talk about it.

[tbyg52]

10. Well.....

Reality hasn't forced them to cover anything they didn't want to cover yet, but one can hope.

11. It only counts when RW organizations buy them in bulk, and sell them at a loss....

Just to spread the propaganda. Astroturf is the media's replacement for grass-roots.
