KILL THIS BOOK: NYT REVIEW TRASHES HILLARY BIO -- WRITTEN BY LEGENDARY NYT REPORTERS!
Mon Jun 04 2007

Editors of the NEW YORK TIMES are set to publish a highly-critical review of a book written by famed NEW YORK TIMES reporters, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In 'HER WAY', Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. have written what will become mandatory reading for Clinton's opponents.

"The book is almost uniformly negative and overly focused on what they consider the Clintons' scandalous past and the darker aspects of Hillary Clinton's personality... The evidence of such a pact -- interviews that have already been challenged in the press -- is less than convincing," writes Robert Dallek in a review set for the paper....

Dallek slams: "Gerth and Van Natta seem to detect no angels in Clinton's nature whatsoever, much less better ones, and the result is a one-sided figure who never quite springs to life or feels truly authentic."...

2. It occurs to me that the editorial page operates pretty independently --

I'm guessing Book Review may also.

3. New York book review is independent of the New York Times....

and the writers who write for it are top notch; the creme de la creme!

The New York Times Book Review is a weekly paper-magazine supplement to The New York Times in which current non-fiction and fiction books are reviewed. It is one of the most influential and widely read book review publications in the industry.<1> The New York Times has published a book section since 1896. The offices are located near Times Square in New York City. Sam Tanenhaus has been the Senior Editor since 2004.

The target audience is an intelligent, general-interest adult reader. The Times publishes two versions each week, one with a cover price sold via subscription, bookstores and newsstands; the another with no cover price included as an insert in each Sunday edition of the Times (the copies are otherwise identical).

There are two types of reviewers, those in-house on staff, and those commissioned by the NYTRB to do the review. For outside reviewers, they are assigned an in-house "preview editor" who works with them in creating the final review. Most reviews are done by outside reviewers.

5. You have to wonder why Hillary scares them so.

Well, at least, I do.

6. OTOH -- I'm hearing Republican MEN in a really red state saying they might vote for her --

honest to God! She's looking so strong up there. I think it has to do with the fact that they are business men, and she's maybe the only one of the entire field they'd hire for a really major job.

7. I think they are trying to tap into the Hillary hatred to make a few bucks.

I'm sure any freeper that can read would want to know what is in the book, but I'm afraid the reading level even though it is probably 5th grade is above their heads. They may buy the book just to have it on their kitchen table when their fellow knuckle draggers come to call.
