There they go again.

In the latest example of what conservative book publishers feel is a bias against them, the New York Times bestseller list is putting books by a model and a porn actress above those with bigger sales numbers that focus on Jesus and promote President Trump.

In the upcoming Oct. 21 edition, the Times leaves off its top 10 list David Limbaugh’s Jesus Is Risen: Paul and the Early Church, published by Regnery, and Jeanine Pirro's Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, published by Center Street.

Current week sales numbers put out by Publisher's Weekly have Limbaugh at 9,218 and Pirro at 9,187.

Going by sales numbers, Limbaugh should be ranked seventh and Pirro eighth. Instead, Limbaugh doesn’t even make the list, which ranks the top 15, and Pirro is last.

Ahead of them are books with worse numbers. Trump accuser and porn star Stormy Daniels is ranked 11th for selling 8,911 copies of Full Disclosure. Model Gisele Bundchen’s Lessons is ranked 9th for selling 8,342.

Neither of those books are on the Amazon top seller list. But Limbaugh ranks No. 16 in his first week.

The Times has said when criticized before that it uses a counting system it finds accurate despite complaints. It also has said it does not discriminate against conservatives, and leading its bestseller list for Oct. 21 is Fox New host Tucker Carlson’s “Ship of Fools.”


Still, it isn’t fair, said the publishers.

A spokeswoman for Regnery said that the company has stopped cooperating with the Times after a long history of having its books snubbed.

“We are thrilled that David Limbaugh's latest, ‘Jesus is Risen,’ is yet again a national bestseller. In a time when the tone and rhetoric in the media is more toxic than ever, we're comforted to see that David's powerful message of faith and biblical values is resonating so strongly,”

But, she added, “It's no surprise to us that the New York Times ranked Stormy Daniels over ‘Jesus is Risen’ despite the fact that Jesus is Risen sold more copies. It simply confirms the decision we made last year to break our ties with the list. Regardless of what the NYT Bestseller List wishes were true, it's clear that Americans are hungrier than ever for Christian and conservative messages, as is evident by last week's strong launch of David Limbaugh's ‘Jesus is Risen.’”
