The New York Times tries to SPIKE bestselling conservative books

IF you go looking for bestselling conservative books in your local bookstore, if they follow the lead of the New York Times they will relegate them to the cook book and weight loss sections. I guess the liberals hate the competition. So they came up with this snaky way to get around it all.

This week three conservative books broke into the New York Times' bestseller list: Mike Huckabee's "A simple government: Twelve Things We Really Need From Government," Dick Morris' "Revolt!: How to Defeat Obama and His Socialist Programs" and Frank Luntz's "Win: The Key Principles to Take Your Business from Ordinary to Extraordinary."

But one of those authors, Morris, is taking issue with how the New York Times credited his sales. Instead of listing these books with other non-fiction books -- a list they surely would have made -- the Times categorized them has "How-to" books.

"On Sunday -- for the first time since the New York Times Bestsellers List first appeared in 1942 -- best selling political books will not appear in the Hardcover Non-Fiction List. Instead, those books will be relegated to the A'dvice, How-To and Miscellaneous List,' along with 'The 4 Hour Body' and 'Weight Watchers New Cookbook,'" Morris wrote on his blog (poor punctuation improved by yours truly). "... Apparently, too many Fox News Contributors are crowding up the hardcover best seller list, so they’ve been thrown downstairs."
