Times Defends Excluding Ted Cruz Book From Best-Seller List: 'We Are Confident'
Posted in: Uncategorized
The New York Times on Monday defended its decision to exclude Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s book “A Time for Truth” from its bestseller list after discovering “strategic bulk purchases,” though it did not offer any further details behind the decision.
“The Times’s best-seller lists are based on a detailed analysis each week of book sales from a wide range of retailers who provide us with specific and confidential context for their sales,” newspaper spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said in an e-mailed statement. “We are confident in our conclusion about the sales patterns for the Cruz book for the week in question.”
The newspaper’s response comes after Politico reported that online retailer Amazon and the book’s publisher, HarperCollins, questioned the Times’ decision.
