NYT Rewards Poorly Ranked Valerie Jarrett Book With Spot on 'Best Sellers' List
By Kristine Marsh | April 15, 2019 1:14 PM EDT
The Daily Caller is reporting that former senior adviser to President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, may have bought her spot on the New York Times’ Best Sellers list with her new memoir, Finding My Voice.
While Jarrett’s book was heavily plugged by the media, with full fawning interviews on CNN, MSNBC, ABC’s Good Morning America, and NPR’s All Things Considered, it wasn’t on the public’s radar. It ranked a dismal #1,346 spot on Amazon’s best-seller list and has only four customer reviews. Yet somehow it’s a NYT’s ‘best seller?’
According to the Caller:

It's now got 11 reviews. 2.2 out of 5 stars.

They're probably just desperate to try to bump off Ben Shapiro's The Right Side of History from near the top of the list.
