Setting the record straight from NEWSMAX

Left-wing TV entertainer Keith Olbermann said on MSNBC this week that the only reason Sarah Palin's book is hitting the top of the online best-seller lists is because "right-wing" blogs — he then showed a picture of Newsmax's Web site — are buying the book in "bulk" to pump up sales.

This is an outrageous lie — but not surprising from Olbermann.

It's true Sarah Palin's book is hitting the top of the online charts.

But the truth is that Newsmax has not purchased one book from Amazon.


MAYBE PEOPLE WANT TO READ THE BOOK

Who paid for all the free books Newsmax is trying to give away?

To be clear, It's number one on Amazon's best seller list.

I suspect Newsmax buys them direct from the publisher and NOT thru Amazon. I would. Wouldn't you. Why give Amazon 15% or whatever they take.

So, that's why they SAY that they have NOT bought any books from Amazon.

They have bought books. From whomever the publisher is.

I think that's clear.

This comment came from Newsmax. I looked to find it. Didn't.

OH, well. Doesn't read like me does it.
