I suppose it was inevitable that even the "five-star" Amazon reviews of Sarah’s new book would be hateful. And full of regurgitated legacy media lies. The lead off one tonight is by "Gen. JC Christian, patriot," all of whose Amazon "reviews" of various conservative books are really beatdowns that tell you nothing about the book because the odds are that JC hasn’t opened it.
To guarantee that JC’s opus stays on top, people who agree with him/her click to say it was "helpful." So far he has 751 helpfuls out of 1,200 clicks. Many of the other first eighteen "reviews" are, like JC, mocking and anonymous. Who’d want to put their real name on such swill? Well, some do. Even trolls want their fifteen minutes of fame. Being, apparently, too cheap or lazy to get a blog.
Amazon can’t, apparently, stop people like JC & friends from gaming the system for their political hobby horses. They have, wisely, instituted a tag for a reviewer to click on that shows whether one has actually bought the book being reviewed. Their own computer system can verify it, I presume. It helps the neutral shopper decide whether a review really is a review. Neither JC’s effort, nor any of the other seventeen have the tag.
