The American people are decidedly disinclined to pay $26 for a book about the life of President Joe Biden's primary caretaker. Politico reports that a recently published biography of Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D, sold just 250 copies in its first week of circulation.
The Politico article, which documents the professional anxiety of White House correspondents who find it "boring and difficult" to cover an administration whose policies they wholeheartedly support, cites the poor sales of Jill: A Biography of the First Lady by AP reporters Julie Pace and Darlene Superville as an example of why journalists are so bummed out now that a Democrat is in charge.
Writing a book about former president Donald Trump was a far more lucrative endeavor, and covering his administration was a profoundly exhilarating experience for the journalists who, in their humble view, were "saving democracy." As Alexander Nazaryan, author of The Best People: Trump's Cabinet and the Siege on Washington, explained in 2021: "Covering the administration was thrilling for many journalists, in the way that I imagine storming Omaha Beach must have been for a 20-year-old fresh from the plains of Kansas. He hadn't signed up for battle, but there he was, liberating France."
They'll never admit it publicly, but America's journalists are simply desperate for Donald Trump to run again in 2024. Biden promised to be a boring president, and in comparison to Trump he certainly has been. That's a really low bar to clear. One might think a president that reporters find so "boring and difficult" to cover would be overwhelmingly popular. He is not, at least among normal Americans. Reporters are simply less inclined to "speak truth to power" when a Democrat is president.
Keep our nation's journalists in your thoughts and prayers this weekend, when they will be "saving democracy" by yucking it up with celebs at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
What?! Think of all the lives she’s saved in surgery and breakthrough research. This has to be an exciting read, what’s wrong with people?!
More copies than I would have thought.
HaHa...And this was suppose to be “a first lady for all of us” as Time said. Looks more like a fist lady turkey.
If it was a true “tell all” biography the sales would be through the roof. Think of the stories she could tell.
Gee, you mean it hasn’t sold around 80 million votes....er, uh, I mean copies? Get outta here.
But I’ll bet she got a billion dollar advance that she won’t have to repay.
10,000 copies may buy you 10 minutes with the Big Guy.
Doesn’t matter, the high six figures if not seven this POS got for someone to Ghostwrite some pablum for her is what counts. It’s all laundered money going through a crooked publishing company.
This DOES NOT COMPUTE with the “fact” her husband GOT THE MOST VOTES IN U.S. HISTORY!!
It’s not a autobiography - it was written by two White House reporters. Couple of nobodies.
Not to worry. All of the fake media outlets and celebs will purchase thousands to make sure it’s a “best seller”
She already banked her money from this money laundering
These books are not written or published for the public. They are for bulk buyers like unions, global warming wankers, open border criminals and the like. They’ll buy 100s of thousand of copies, burn them, and create a nice windfall for the parasites.
Banked the money, no doubt, but the push had to be on. The beezitch hasn’t been First Nurse long enough to have a story. Had to get that book out before the roof caves in. Some of the loyal 250 might soon want their money back?
I’d buy a few copies but only after I stop wiping my butt with the soft pages of the koran.
So.... somewhere there must be a serious toilet paper shortage.
Money laundering. The Bidens got a $60 million book deal. The book company is just the legitimate front for drug and human trafficking operations.
Much like Hunter’s “Art Gallery”.
Did WHOOPI buy all of them?
