The New York Times grudgingly acknowledged Thursday what the book world
has known for weeks: conservative author Jerome Corsi's widely acclaimed
"Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump" is a bonafide
bestseller.
Under mounting pressure, the paper agreed to list the book at No. 15 on
its combined print and e-book bestseller list.
Meanwhile "Killing the Deep State" has climbed to the No. 1 spot on
several Amazon categories and is already a top 10 bestseller with Barnes &
Noble.
Despite this, the Times is still refusing to include it on its more
prestigious hardcover nonfiction list despite the fact it has sold many
more copies than books that have been included, according to Nielsen
BookScan, the industry's nationally recognized sales tracking service.
Titles such as "Pretty Mess" by Erika Jayne, "Obama" by Pete Souza, and
"I'll Be Gone in the Dark," by Michelle McNamara, are on the Times'
hardcover list, while "Killing the Deep State" which sold more copies than
each of those titles, is still missing.
Corsi's book describes "deep state" efforts at agencies like the FBI,
Department of Justice, and NSA aimed at destroying Trump's presidency.
"Killing the Deep State" is published by Humanix. When Newsmax reached out
to The New York Times to ask why it is snubbing the book, our query was
met with a terse "no comment."
In an interview with Newsmax TV, Corsi said he is not entirely surprised
at his book's exclusion from the Times list.
"They don't want any book that will support President Trump, who they
detest, to be on The New York Times bestseller list. Even if the book
legitimately outsells most of the other books," he said during an
appearance on "Newsmax Now."
"It's completely disgraceful and dishonest. But again, The New York Times
is disgraceful and dishonest these days."
