Writers of Junk Conservativism Rely on Publisher They Now Whine is Ripping Them Off

Go ahead.  Smear your name as a thinker and writer by scribbling down rewarmed right wing lies.

You can always sell it to Regnery.

Oh, but don't actually expect to get paid much seems to be the message of Regnery authors according to a NY Times report "Conservative Authors Sue Publisher" which shows that the publisher gives away, remainders, or sells their books to conservative groups at a steep discount.

Hat Tip Uncommon Sense for link to the Times report. UC's excellent thoughts on the subject are at the link.

A thousand junk conservatism blogs will repeat your sayings as if finding something in a book by you makes it a bit of truth.  (Junk conservatism sources rely on dubious allegations put between two covers by unqualified sources or insiders with truth challenged ethics).

Then someone will take your junk conservatism "facts"  and write it in a book and "sell" it to Regnery.

The right wing is known for ginning up it's own sources.

Regnery makes millions.

Their little junk conservative followers hoping to make millions on the "truth" fed to them by the Limbaugh and other talk show hosts, or the Rove bots at Free Republic get the shaft.

Sorry, folks.  But, if it looks too good to be true....    Oh you know the old saying.

So get a clue. 

Most likely, you are not going to just write down a bunch of rehashed junk conservatism and make millions on it.

The big name people, O'Reilly, Coulter, etc. have that niche sewn up.  Why would an honest publisher have need of your regurgitations?
