Is “Out Magazine” the home of depressed, dour scolds? They’ve been popping that way lately, but you be the judge.
First, they laid it on thick about Milo’s supposed low book sales:
Nobody is Buying Milo Yiannopoulos’ Memoir, Dangerous…
In today’s fake news, alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos is claiming his book, Dangerous, has sold more than 100,000 copies.
The problem with that number is that it’s not real. Nielsen Bookscan, which monitors book sales through almost all outlets, has reported book sales for the former Breitbart editor are much, much lower. Since launching on July 4, Dangerous has sold 18,268 copies in the US and 152 in the UK…
A google search shows other left-wing outlets, like Salon and The Guardian, joining in the schadenfreude.
The problem is, their numbers are shaky. Milo is selling fine. He’s entering the best-seller lists at anywhere from #5 to #1; the first 100k run is spoken for and they’re printing more; Amazon has to ship his book slow (when they even have it). As to the 152 UK copies, the book isn’t even on sale there; a minimum of 152 UK buyers paid for international shipping. Fake News, indeed.
Next, via Breitbart, Out Magazine Encourages Readers to ‘Drop’ Gay Republican Friends
“We drop friends all the time for a whole variety of reasons—they messed with our loves lives, they lied, they weren’t supportive—so why do some people think it’s such an outlandish idea to dump them for their political views?” asked actor, singer, and writer Michael Musto in his column for OUT Magazine…
Musto goes on to admit that his social media experience has been more “gratifying” since he’s decided to block any user who disagrees with him…
Here’s a clue for you, Out: By all means, drop us. Here on the liberty-loving Right, we do believe in freedom of association – and we won’t miss you in the least 😉
