BIAS ALERT: Amazon 'fixed' reviews for Hillary Clinton's book
Published September 26, 2016
FoxNews.com

Hillary Clinton's newest book, "Stronger Together," has been met with critical reviews and slow sales since its release earlier this month.

But Amazon.com appears to be helping the Democratic presidential nominee by removing negative reviews from its website, WND.com reported.

The book, co-authored by Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, sold just 2,912 copies in its first week on sale, according to Nielsen BookScan. And the online ratings have been abysmal, with 81 percent one-star ratings and an average of only 1.7 on Amazon.com after it hit book shelves on Sept 6.

Amazon, however, has tried to fix that.

According to WND.com -- which has been tracking the number of reviews -- Amazon deleted hundreds of comments last week that were critical of the book, which lays out a policy blueprint of how the country would look under a Clinton-Kaine administration.

On Thursday, Amazon -- whose CEO, Jeff Bezos, owns the Washington Post -- said there were 91 positive reviews compared to 166 critical ones, according to WND. Just two days earlier, there were 1,244 reviews -- 81 percent of them with one-star and 16 percent with five-star ratings, the website reported.

As of Monday morning, 85 percent of the customer reviews on Amazon gave it one star, while only 11 percent gave it five stars.

The book dropped from No. 840 on Amazon's best-seller rankings early last  week to No. 1,538 on Thursday.

One reader, identified as Robert S Lionel JR, gave the book a one-star rating and wrote, "Every time I write my review it gets deleted, it's so weird. Does anyone know where the servers are hosted that contain reviews?"

Another reader commented: "I expected that Amazon tweaked reviews but have lost all belief in Amazon reviews now. Will switch to Walmart for ordering most the things I used to buy here."

According to Amazon's description, the book "presents [their] agenda in full, relating stories from the American people and outlining the Clinton/Kaine campaign's plans on everything from apprenticeships to the Zika virus."

Many of the poor reviews appeared to hit the candidate rather than the substance of the book. Of the comments that critiqued the book, readers used words such as "boring" and "dishonest" in describing the 250-page text interspersed with bullet-point policy ideas.

Funny how she told people to go out and buy her book (and check out her website) during the debate.

Clinton Received Debate Questions Week Before Debate, According to Sources
Baltimore Gazette ^ | 9/27/2016
Posted on 9/27/2016, 11:27:11 AM



The first presidential debate was held and Hillary Clinton was proclaimed the winner by the media. Indeed Clinton was able to turn in a strong debate performance, but did she do so fairly? Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.

Earlier last week an NBC intern was seen hand delivering a package to Clinton’s campaign headquarters, according to sources. The package was not given to secretarial staff, as would normally happen, but the intern was instead ushered into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. Members of the Clinton press corps from several media organizations were in attendance at the time, and a reporter from Fox News recognized the intern, but said he was initially confused because the NBC intern was dressed like a Fed Ex employee.

The reporter from Fox questioned campaign staff about the intern, but campaign staff at first claimed ignorance and then claimed that it was just a Fed Ex employee who had already left. No reporters present who had seen the intern dressed as a Fed Ex employee go into Mook’s office saw him leave by the same front entrance. The Fox reporter who recognized the intern also immediately looked outside of the campaign headquarters and noted that there were no Fed Ex vehicles parked outside.

Clinton seemed to have scripted responses ready for every question she was asked at the first debate. She had facts and numbers memorized for specific questions that it is very doubtful she would have had without being furnished the questions beforehand. The entire mainstream media has specifically been trying to portray Trump as a racist and a poor candidate.

Priorities. 

Nearly 20 Mins on Trump’s ‘Miss Piggy’ Remark, Silence on Clinton Chief of Staff Immunity
By Mike Ciandella | September 28, 2016

Once again, ABC, CBS and NBC have ignored a major news story that could be embarrassing to Hillary Clinton and have national implications, while promoting a negative (and trivial) Trump story initially pushed by the Clinton campaign.

On September 23, news broke that during the now-infamous investigation into Clinton’s emails, the FBI granted Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills immunity. House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz called Mills’s immunity “beyond explanation,” adding that “the FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy.” Yet, neither ABC, CBS nor NBC ever even mentioned this story once.

But the same networks that have failed to cover the Mills story since it broke on September 23 were quick to devote a full 19 minutes and 40 seconds to the controversy over Trump allegedly calling a former Miss Universe “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” The networks began covering this 20-year-old incident after Clinton brought it up in her remarks during the debate on Monday night, and then exponentially increased their coverage when Trump attempted to defend himself on Fox News’s Fox & Friends on the morning of September 27.

On September 27’s edition of World News Tonight, correspondent Cecilia Vega described the former contestant (and Clinton supporter) as an “instant cause célèbre.” On NBC’s Today on September 28, co-host Matt Lauer, echoing Bloomberg Politics’s Mark Halperin, mused that the Miss Universe debacle was “going to be more than a one or two-day story” – as if journalists had no control over how long a story would be discussed.

According to a summary of the Mills incident written by Andrew McCarthy for the National Review, “[t]his is very strange. There was no need to grant concessions to Mills. The Justice Department could have required the production of the computer by simply issuing a grand jury subpoena. And had there been any concern that Mills would not cooperate, would destroy the computer, or would “misplace” it (as Team Clinton claims to have misplaced so many Hillary devices), investigators could have applied for a search warrant and seized the computer.”

weird that when trump called in to FOX news, all he wanted to talk about was justifying calling her miss piggy

yet

now people are mad that the news is talking about it. 


I don't know how you can complain about it.   Trump himself gave this story serious legs, and you know it.

7 to 1: Trump Sex Scandals vs Hillary WikiLeaks Coverage
By Mike Ciandella | October 13, 2016

From Friday evening to Thursday morning, the morning and evening news shows on ABC, CBS and NBC dedicated 4 hours and 13 minutes to discussing the recent allegations of sexual misconduct surrounding Donald Trump’s campaign. Meanwhile, not only has the continual release of the WikiLeaks emails from top Hillary staff gotten a comparatively puny 36 minutes of coverage during this same time period, the coverage that is there continues to ignore specifics that could be damaging to Hillary.

Still completely absent from the network coverage? Any mention of the emails where journalists collaborated with the Clinton campaign.

Journalists quick to be critical of Trump dismissed the entirety of the email leak as a “distraction” (Nancy Cordes, CBS This Morning on October 13) with “no major bombshells” (Kasie Hunt, NBC’s Today on October 8 ). CBS This Morning on October 13 even invited on New York Times correspondent Mark Leibovich to talk about the leaked emails, -- a reporter who himself was featured in the leaked emails for having Hillary Clinton approve one of his stories about her. Yet not a single CBS “journalist” even mentioned this huge potential conflict of interest.

Incriminating emails that were mentioned, such as Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s comments about “needy Latinos” were only mentioned in passing. In the case of a series of anti-Catholic emails, the worst examples were ignored.

A large focus of the network news coverage of WikiLeaks has been on how the emails were hacked and leaked. This is a legitimate news topic, but if these were leaked emails from the Trump campaign, would the same effort be put into caring about how the emails were released, instead of focusing on their content?

If asked how the American mainstream media is any different from the Pravda in the old Soviet Union, I have no answer.
