Murdoch to ratchet up neocon titles via HarperCollins |
|
HarperCollins is one of Murdoch's media tentacles...
This item was from today's Publishers' Weekly e-newsletter:
Harper's Conservative Expansion?
Tucked into an announcement about a number of e-book division promotions at Harper is word of "a new role" for Perfectbound editor Sean Abbott, who will now serve as senior editor for HarperCollins General Books and acquire titles that "focus on works by conservative writers and thinkers." The company says he recently signed up Mary Lefkowitz's History Lesson, described as "a memoir of the cultural wars."

liberals will ave to keep on publishing every six months just to keep up with Murdoch.
Pretty soon, Conservatives will have to be pulling more crap out of their ass and liberals will just have to use more of their brains.

6. It's the gravy train for the movement faithful |

Pick a think tank, talk show, book contract, and spew the bile. Pick up cash as you go.
These people wouldn't know a day's work if it made a formal introduction.
