Tapscott quotes a NY Times editor as bragging that MSM newspapers are distinguished from blogs by their careful fact-checking. Meanwhile, the NY Times doesn't even accurately report what's happening on its own best-seller book list.

Meanwhile, the NY Times doesn't even accurately report what's happening on its own best-seller book list.
Where's the inaccuracy? Sunday's Times reported that "after a strong start, it's sinking." According to the NewsMax article, it indeed started strong at #2 on the bestseller list, then sank to #4 the next week and sank further to #8 the week after that.
It's true that the following week it remained at #8, but that list was released three days after the report you and NewsMax are complaining about. That may cast doubt on the Times' ability to predict the future, but it has no bearing on its ability to report what's happening on the bestseller list.
