New York Times snubs book about Kermit Gosnell from Bestsellers List?

The New York Times has been criticized for not including a book about Kermit Gosnell in its bestseller list despite its high sales.

The book "Gosnell: The Untold Story of America's Most Prolific Serial Killer," by Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, became the third best-selling book on Amazon and grabbed the top spot on Amazon's "Hot New Release" list after it debuted on Jan. 24.

According to a report from The Christian Post, it was sold out on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million in just a few days.

The book reportedly became the fourth top-selling hardcover non-fiction title in the U.S. this week, but it has not been acknowledged by The New York Times yet. Regnery Publishing contended that Gosnell, which has sold 7,644 copies, should be on the nonfiction list behind "The Magnolia Story," which has sold 10,000.

"This is shocking that the cover-up of the Gosnell story is continuing even after the mainstream media were so criticized for failing to cover the trial," said McElhinney, according to the Washington Examiner.

"It's clear that this is a blatant fake list in a fake news newspaper. It's not only an insult to the people who have bought this book, but an insult to the readers of the New York Times who buy the newspaper and think they are getting the truth about book sales across America but instead get false facts disguised as a neutral list," she added.

McElhinney and her husband wrote the book after they made a movie about the shocking case of Gosnell, who received three life sentences for murdering newborn babies. Some accounts were so brutal that they could not be shown in the movie.

According to court testimony, Gosnell would perform abortions by inducing live-births and then stabbing the babies in the back of their necks with scissors. He is said to have killed thousands of babies, but investigators have said that he had destroyed most of the evidence that could have led to further convictions.

Gosnell was convicted of murdering three newborn babies and contributing to the death of a female patient in 2013. He is currently serving his sentence in the Huntington Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania.
