Reading to the right

Sunday’s Nonfiction Best Seller list in The New York Times was disturbing reading. Three – count ‘em, three – of the top four best-sellers were written by Fox News commentators. And Number 10 on the list was by Dinesh D’Souza, who may or may not be on Fox (I wouldn’t know).

What does this tell us? That Fox News-watchers are more literary than liberals? Clearly, no.

That their appetite for red meat makes them spend hours reading right-wing rants in addition to hours watching them?

That they’ll buy anything Fox tells them to buy?

That they need to get a life?

Or maybe that Fox books should be on the Fiction List.

The books are, from top down: The Russia Hoax, by Gregg Jarrett; Liars, Leakers and Liberals, by Jeanine Pirro; The Gutfeld Monologues, by Greg Gutfeld; and Death of a Nation, by D’Souza. And, no, I’m not providing links.
