Despite Backlash, Jake Tapper’s Book on Biden’s Decline Becomes a Bestseller Online
(www.rollingstone.com)
How cheap would it be for a PAC or billionaire to buy up thousands of copies of whatever book they want to top the charts?
Not hard at all. Scientology used to do it with L. Ron Hubbard books all the time. It only takes about 5,000 copies.

Amazon has Tapper's book for $27. 5K copies would be $135,000.
I could personally do that and wouldn't even max out my credit. CNN wouldn't blink about it.
For the comparative cost of a normal person going out to lunch.
