Submission guidelines at the Dystel & Goderich website (original emphasis): "[Y]ou should describe in two or three sentences—no more—what the book will be about. This is followed by another brief paragraph on why it is being written and then another on why you are qualified to write it....Finally, there should be a more formal narrative Bio of the author."

Media Works To Suppress Obama 'Born In Kenya' Bio

By Ben Shapiro

Breitbart.com

While the internet buzzed with Breitbart News’ release of a booklet from President Obama’s literary agency circa 1991 describing him as being “born in Kenya,” the mainstream media still refuses to report the story, or plays defense for Obama.

Never mind that the agency used the “born in Kenya” biography until 2007. Never mind that authors who have worked with the agency state that the agency asks that authors pen their own biographies. Never mind that Obama has routinely padded his biographical details to appeal to particular audiences.

Nothing to see here.

A Word From Tom Lipscomb

ABC has reported the statement issued by Obama’s literary agency on the “born in Kenya” deal. Our friend Tom Lipscomb has just posted a comment on his Facebook page. Given Tom’s experience in the business, his views merit the consideration of interested observers. Here is Tom’s comment in full:

IF YOU WANT A LITERARY AGENCY THAT WILL LIE FOR YOU OUTRAGEOUSLY TRY DYSTEL AND GOEDERICH

A limp statement was squirted out yesterday after the Breitbart item appeared that a woman who worked at the time as a low level assistant at Acton and Dystel, then Obama’s agent (and is now the Goederich who is Dystel’s partner) was now taking full responsibility for making an “error.”

As someone who has run a number of top bestseller publishers, I think this is an amazing MIRACLE.

"How Interest Groups, Government, and Hollywood Conspire to Keep TV Left"

Primetime Propaganda

By Carol A. Taber

It's rare when you read a nonfiction book to be thrilled -- truly thrilled -- by it.  Ben Shapiro's Primetime Propaganda isn't just thrilling, it's deep, phenomenally insightful, and intelligent.  Primetime Propaganda documents, in tremendous detail, how and why our culture is so screwed up, nihilistic, and alien to what most Americans want for their children -- and how television helped make it that way, in purposeful fashion.

I had a visceral feeling when I began reading Primetime Propaganda: I was in a racing car, dashing in and out of traffic, passing other cars, careening around corners and jumping curbs and hurtling up the freeway at breakneck speeds, never losing the trail to get to the trip's destination, slicing up the highway with the deftness of a brain surgeon.  The pace of the book starts off that way and doesn't let up throughout, building a methodical and logical argument as to why Hollywood is the way it is: how each breakthrough leftist television show paved the way for the next level of open leftism, pushing the envelope farther and farther out, if for no other reason than to shock the sensibilities of most people and to pervert classic American values for our children.

That's one helluva ride for a nonfiction book.  Primetime Propaganda meticulously details how a very small, incestuous group of people with limited ideas and limited ideals, almost all literally born in the same pod -- and whose relationship to American values is nothing short of hostile and contemptuous -- got into a position to mold the values of your own children more powerfully than you as a parent ever could.  It's about the scariest thought on the planet.  And Shapiro explains how it happened.
