A new analysis from The Economist determined that The New York Times is 'politically biased' against conservative authors on its bestseller list. According to the magazine, books from conservative publishers were estimated to be on average 7% less likely to make the paper’s bestseller list compared to titles sharing similar sales figures.
The study compiled a list of 250 books released between June 2012 and June 2024 by publishing companies describing themselves as conservative that made the Publishers Weekly top 25 hardcover nonfiction list for at least one week. 'It’s bang-your-head-against-the-wall frustrating,' former George W. Bush White House press secretary and Fox News contributor Ari Fleischer told The Economist.
New York Times spokesperson told Fox News Digital, 'We disagree with the Economist’s suggestion that political bias plays a role in the Best Seller Lists.' The statement continued, 'The mission of the Best Seller Lists is to report what books are being purchased most by individual readers across the country while preventing attempts to skew those numbers with bulk purchases.
