Regnery, the nation’s premier publisher of conservative books, has cut ties with The New York Times over long-simmering allegations the newspaper took a decided left-leaning slant in picking which books to feature on its best-seller lists
Going forward, Regnery will rely on Publishers Weekly lists to determine best-seller status, and will no longer allow authors to self-identify with The New York Times list, or distribute bonuses based on the newspaper’s determinations.
“Increasingly, it appears that the Times has gathered book sale data in a manner which prioritizes liberal-themed books over conservative books and authors,” Regnery President Marji Ross said in a company press release.

I liked one if the comments:
The sales figures for books are skewed by the over-purchase of titles by libraries and schools. My library has purchase at least a dozen of every Clinton book ever published, but only two of the GWBush biography and only four of the very popular Bill Oreilly "Killing" books. Wait time for new conservative books is in the months, but there is little or no wait time for new progressive claptrap. I wonder if "It takes a village" ever sold a single copy to a person!
