"The world of New York publishing is buzzing about new conservative imprints at two mainstream houses," National Review says.

"The Penguin Group announced a 'major new imprint,' as yet unnamed, for 'books of political opinion and dissent with a conservative perspective.' Adrian Zackheim, the man in charge of the new unit, edited Newt Gingrich and Margaret Thatcher when he was at HarperCollins," the magazine said.

"Meanwhile, Crown Publishers is inaugurating Crown Forum this June with a new release by Ann Coulter. Established firms have been doing well with conservative books since Random House published Whittaker Chambers' 'Witness' half a century ago.

Witness was the BEST autobiography I've ever read.

BTW, if there is anybody out there working for one of these publishers, I now have more than enough material from the AL GORE AT THE MOVIES reviews (actually more exist than on that page) to make up a book. There are several dozen such reviews that would comprise over 50,000 words. In addition, I have access to cartoonists so as to include funny illustrations and comix stories in such a book to accompany the reviews ala Private Parts. Sorry for the blatant self-plug but, as I've found, it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find a literary agent to get representation (unless there is a Freeper literary agent out there).

OK, so publishers are "getting it." But how long will it take for a major network to figure out they can grab 50% of the audience for a network newcast by being fair and balanced?

ONE network has already figured that out.

Even PMSNBC is starting to figure out where its bread is buttered -- hired Mike Savage, and now Peggy Noonan, plus kicked Bashleigh Bushleague in the pants.
