By comparison, \u201cNetwork of Lies\u201d amounts to \u2062a bestseller.<\/p>\n<p>On balance, though, we do \u2064seem to have a diminishing market for liars who write books about supposed lies.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, judging \u2064by sagging book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-anchors-book-launch-not-off-hot-start-despite-non-stop-promotion-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sales<\/a> and plummeting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rock-bottom-cnn-tallies-lowest-key-demo-ratings-ever-recorded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ratings<\/a>, the establishment media can only lie\u2062 for so long. Even\u200c their partisan viewers will eventually abandon them and seek less obvious falsehoods elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those who crave truth have found it in alternative media. Elon Musk\u2019s \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X, for instance, has created the closest thing we have \u200bto a marketplace of ideas. Of course, we still find plenty \u2063of falsehoods on X, but we also find truths to\u2063 counter them.<\/p>\n<p>This is why, at the \u200cmost recent Republican presidential debate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-vivek-ramaswamy-rips-debate-moderator-fiery-opening-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a> received such applause from GOP voters when he rightly suggested that Musk, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-york-post-editorial-board-takes-shot-vivek-ramaswamy-tucker-carlson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucker Carlson<\/a> \u2062and Joe Rogan \u2014 three figures now associated with free speech and alternative media \u2014 should\u200d moderate a Republican debate in place\u200b of the usual establishment shills.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, we know that \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/establishment-media-burns-donald-trump-again-after-former-president-grants-them-exclusive-interview\/\" title=\"Establishment Media Burns Donald Trump Again After Former President Grants Them Exclusive Interview\">establishment media figures<\/a> like Stelter lie to us. And we know that they\u200b do so at the behest of other \u2064establishment liars at CNN and elsewhere. So we \u2064must move on from them \u2014 all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we \u200bdo not marvel at Stelter\u2019s \u200cbook flop so much as acknowledge it. In the same way, we acknowledge the establishment\u200c media as a force that once mattered but no\u200c longer does.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/brian-stelter-must-livid-sales-new-book-bomb-brutal-first-week\/\">Brian Stelter\u2064 Must Be Livid as Sales for His New Book Bomb \u200bin Brutal First Week<\/a> appeared first on  <\/p>\n<h2> How did Brian Stelter&#8217;s latest book,\u200d &#8220;Network of Lies,&#8221;\u2062 perform in\u200d terms of\u2062 sales in\u2062 its \u2062first week?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064Former CNN \u2064talking head Brian Stelter&#8217;s \u2063latest book, &#8220;Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy,&#8221; has \u2064failed to \u2063make an impact\u2063 in its first \u2064week of sales. According\u2064 to Mediaite, the book only sold a \u2062measly 3,807 \u200ccopies after its release on November\u2063 14.<\/p>\n<p>Stelter, who spent years hosting CNN&#8217;s &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; \u200cwhile posing\u2063 as a\u200b media critic, seems to have\u2063 missed \u200cthe mark with his latest publication. Despite the dramatic \u200ctitle, \u200creaders were apparently not intrigued by what Stelter had to say. This is\u2063 a blow to Stelter considering the support\u200d he received from Simon &#038; Schuster, one of\u2064 the top publishers in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The author also heavily \u2063promoted the book, with Mediaite\u2064 even \u2063describing him as &#8220;nearly ubiquitous in the political media world&#8221; \u200dboth before and \u200dafter its release. The left-wing \u2062news outlet\u200b highlighted his return to\u2062 the CNN airwaves and his appearances on MSNBC as a guest, \u200das well\u2064 as \u2063the positive reviews the\u200c book received from The New \u2064York Times. It seems that as long as\u2062 Stelter attacks Trump and conservatives, he can maintain his\u2062 popularity within \u200dthe establishment media.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative outlets, on the other hand,\u2063 had less favorable opinions \u200dabout the book&#8217;s\u2064 sales performance. The Gateway Pundit called it a &#8220;tremendous failure&#8221; and a \u2062&#8221;BIG\u2063 FAT FLOP.&#8221;\u200c However, it may\u200c be premature to dismiss the book&#8217;s sales entirely.<\/p>\n<p>As the UK Daily Mail pointed out, \u200ba revised \u2064version of Stelter&#8217;s 2020 book &#8220;Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth&#8221; only sold 1,738 copies in \u200cits first week. In comparison, &#8220;Network \u2062of Lies&#8221; \u2062can be considered a bestseller.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it seems that there is a diminishing market \u2064for books\u2063 written by \u200dindividuals who are perceived \u2064as liars. \u200dThe decline in sales suggests \u2063that readers are becoming skeptical \u2063of authors who claim to expose lies\u2063 and\u200c distortions \u200cin the media.
