N.Y. Times expose
bounces up charts

A dazzling expose of the New York Times published by WND Books – titled "Journalistic Fraud: How the New York Times Distorts the News" by Bob Kohn – has skyrocketed up the Amazon.com charts, reaching No. 38 today on the best-seller list.

It also has risen to No. 64 on BarnesandNoble.com's rankings.

"Once you've read this book, you'll never read the Times – or any newspaper – the same way again," says Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily and co-founder of WND Books. "This book could spell the beginning of the end of the Times' reign as America's newspaper of record."

Compelling media appearances in recent weeks by Kohn – including interviews with Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Monica Crowley, Phil Valentine, Alan Nathan, "Fox & Friends" and MSNBC's "Scarborough Country" – have helped get word out about the first real journalistic probe of the Times since the Jayson Blair scandal.

In "Journalistic Fraud," Kohn shows dramatically that the Blair scandal wasn't the first journalistic fraud perpetrated by the Times, but rather the culmination of years of often subtle, insidious distortion of reality for political purposes. Kohn shows how the original founding vision of the Times was hijacked by those with a political agenda who used the prestigious paper to spread a dangerous form of propaganda. At the same time, he offers readers a sophisticated but concise crash-course in journalism for the layman.

Kohn's book also demonstrates how the Times' influence extends far beyond its million-plus readers. Indeed, with 650 subscribers to its daily wire service, tens of millions of Americans across the heartland are "being subjected to the bias and dishonesty of the Times in their local newspapers."

The journalistic fraud Kohn exposes is perpetuated in three main ways:

• slanting the presentation of the facts in leads, headlines, and placement
• utilizing polls, labels, and loaded language to hoodwink readers
• staffing the newsroom with hacks who manipulate the news to further a leftist political agenda

"The New York Times' worst nightmare," said Farah, "would be for this ultimate expose of the Times to shoot up the New York Times own best-seller list. That's why I've been urging WND's readers to buy this book! It's a fantastic read, and you also get to make a powerful statement to the arrogant leaders at the Times – one they'll never forget, nor live down."

"Journalistic Fraud" is available now from WorldNetDaily's online store.
