It actually takes two writers — Susan Jones and Greg Gwyn-Williams — to crank out a painfully fluffy Jan. 24 CNSNews.com article carrying the headline “1,500 ‘Very Pleasant’ People Wait in Snow for Mark Levin Book-Signing.” And yes, the article is really all about how nice the people waiting in line for a Levin book-signing are.
The article is illustrated with pictures taken from Levin’s website, so one has to wonder if Levin paid for this press release-esque placement.
This was followed by a blog post by Craig Bannister touting how Levin leads a group of three right-wing writers topping “the Barnes & Noble adult, nonfiction, hardcover bestseller list.” That’s right — Bannister has to wander all the way over to B&N to find a bestseller list that conformed to his ideology.
This, in turn, was followed by a Jan. 26 article by Susan Jones declaring that Levin’s book “will debut at number one on the New York Times Best Seller list–in four different nonfiction categories.”
All of this comes in the wake of CNS editor Terry Jeffrey’s fawning interview of Levin last week.
