Costco had 8 books by conservativesToday I counted 8 books by conservative authors - mainly FOX idiots. There were none by liberal authors.

This is another example of the saturation by conservatives. Maybe their brainwashing of their viewers is so successful that people are driven to purchase their books.

Are liberal authors just not writing anything or are there deals to keep these conservative books flowing through Costco?
The conservatives are prolific writers and they have their own publishers but why are they immediately given so many platforms to sell?

And now the conspiracy theory madness begins.

19. Exactly What I Was Thinking!

Those books don't actually get read. Just bought.

29. ^^^^^THIS. You also see them on the cheap tables at Barnes and Noble and in book clubs at deep

discounts. They print a ton of that shit and then sell it super cheap so it'll get on the bestseller list and get the supposed credibility that goes with it. The costs of publishing that stuff is just a write-off for the big right wing think tanks and superPACS.

Hmm...I seem to recall plenty of books from Libtard authors at Sams last time I was there.

7. They own the media. That is one of the negative effects of corporate monopoly.

They also game the best seller list by bulk buying books for conservative book clubs, than the stores stock books considered best sellers. It is wingnut welfare.

10. I notice the piles stay tall

which means they don't sell and are remaindered out the next month. Costco likely has to take them in order to get good deals on the best sellers.

Yeah  that's GOT to be it.

Here's a lesson in the free market Dummies.

People buy conservative books.  As a result, businesses like Costco and Barnes and Nobles stock conservative books. 
Likewise, people don't buy liberal books.  As a result, businesses don't stock liberal books.

Ok genius.  How about you write he next best selling liberal book and balance the scales...

Funny thing is, I can usually only find one two books by conservatives at Walmart or K Mart, but there is an empty space where others were stocked.  OTOH, there are quite a few copies of liberal books sitting on the shelf. 

What I don't get is that both of those stores have a bigger section for black authors than they do for Sci-Fi and murder-mystery combined.

Recent history has shown that Liberal books tank (prime example Hillary's latest tome) and the only way they are bought in large quantities is when the DNC buys them in bulk and then hands them out as freebies with a (insert dollar amount here) donation to the DNC general election fund.

IIRC Costco ordered 200K of Mark Levin's upcoming book Plunder and Deceit.

Why?

Because they know they will sell every single copy in every store they stock them in.

Nobody reads liberal books, especially liberals. This is because liberal books are low information, they repeat the same leftist slogans that the people who ghost-writ for Marx ghost-writ over 150 years ago. Everybody knows it. And nobody believes it. Especially liberals.

So, there's really no need for liberal books. Hence, they don't exist.

It's called "the free market."  Hence, why the Left wants to do away with same.

That is pretty much it -- And the DUmmies HATE it.

The problem with capitalistic societies is that people are allowed to consume what they want, whereas a leftist dictatorship would simply decide for everyone. And that is what they want. A leftist overlord.

Indeed. Supply follows demand, or so they are fond of saying until conservative authors outsell liberal ones.
