30,000 MACY’S CUSTOMERS RETALIATE IN SUPPORT OF DONALD TRUMP




Macy’s was “inundated with complaints” from roughly 30,000 customers who are defending GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to TMZ.

Macy’s decided not to carry Trump’s ties after he made comments during his official announcement speech about illegal immigration.

Macy’s along with NBC, Univision, and NASCAR— among others — broke business ties with Trump after backlash from the media about his comments.

The thousands of Macy’s customers have decided not to shop at the store anymore and are cutting up their Macy’s cards.

Donald Trump responded on Twitter saying, “I am so happy that people are boycotting Macy’s.”

NEW YORK TIMES CAVES, PLACES TED CRUZ BOOK ‘A TIME FOR TRUTH’ ON BESTSELLER’S LIST



The New York Times acknowledged on Wednesday that the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) book, A Time For Truth, belongs on its best-seller list and gave it a no. 7 ranking in nonfiction, after snubbing it and accusing the Cruz campaign of making “strategic bulk purchases.”

Harper Collins sent an inquiring email to The New York Times last week after the book’s impressive sales were ignored by the paper.

“We have uniform standards that we apply to our best seller list, which includes an analysis of book sales that goes beyond simply the number of books sold,” spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said, according to Politico. “This book didn’t meet that standard this week.”

Cruz’s campaign furiously attacked The New York Times for their deliberate omission.

“The Times is presumably embarrassed by having their obvious partisan bias called out. But their response — alleging ‘strategic bulk purchases’ — is a blatant falsehood. The evidence is directly to the contrary. In leveling this false charge, the Times has tried to impugn the integrity of Senator Cruz and of his publisher HarperCollins,” Cruz campaign spokesperson Rick Tyler told Politico on Friday.

Amazon also pushed back. An Amazon spokeswoman said that A Time For Truth was a bestselling book and they found no evidence of “unusual bulk purchase activity.” Cruz’s book currently ranks as the number-one best-selling book in “Political Conservatism & Liberalism” on Amazon.

The New York Times backed down on Wednesday without apology while maintaining they did nothing wrong.

“This week’s NYT best seller list was arrived at using the same process as last week’s — and the week before that. That process involves a careful analysis of data, and is not influenced in any way by the content of a book, or by pressure from publishers or book sellers,” Murphy wrote in an email to The Hill. “Our approach serves Times readers by authenticating broadly popular books through the confidential reporting of a wide range of retailers. In order to avoid compromising that process, we do not disclose who reports sales to us.”

I'm still unclear - How many copies of his book did Cruz/his campaign/his publisher buy for themselves?

Of course his publisher/Cruz will deny it all. 
Of course the NYT will tell us they base it all on a proprietary formula.

Can ANYONE tell us the exact number of books that Cruz and his people bought from themselves?

(and the push up as a result is to be expected - many on FR and other boards were buying it just to piss off they NYT)


Before anyone calls me a name or shits on the lib media - what is the exact # of books Cruz bought from himself?

[whork]

Cruz has not sold any copies.

The numbers are fake.

Just like the unemployment numbers, the liberal media is lying to you.
