O'Lielly caught in lie
"CONTROVERSY SWIRLS AROUND O'REILLY BOOK SALES CLAIMS" screams drudge.

Faux Nooze blowhard Bill O'Really recently claimed that he is "running against Hillary for most copies of nonfiction books sold this year!"

But numbers obtained by the drudge report show a dramatically different sales scene for 2003.

NIELSEN's BOOKSCAN placed O'Reilly at #6 for the year on the nonfiction charts, trailing rival Al Franken by nearly 30%!

The number represents scanned, purchased, sold and bagged copies at AMAZON, BARNES AND NOBLE, BORDER'S, COSTCO and other outlets (BOOKSCAN is generally considered to capture about 70-80% of total sales of all books sold in USA).
Slow news day.
