An Update on the Steyn-Chapters Kafuffle

By way of clarification, the book chain's "social media relations director" told Andrew Lawton that
Unfortunately, the publisher was late to distribute [Steyn's new book After America] to us. It is a logistical shipping issue that we have now taken steps to remedy for our customers. We now have the book in our possession and we have rushed it to stores (I’ve pasted a list of the stores receiving rush copies below). These stores should be receiving their stock today and tomorrow.Mr. Steyn’s book is one of our biggest of the season — we have made a substantial commitment to supporting it.
My question: If it's simply a "logistical shipping issue" on the publisher's end, why do I never see Steyn's other political books on shelves that are always--always--groaning under the collective weight of the oeuvres of Chomsky, Fisk, Klein, Carter and other lefty "thinkers"?

This is why the major brick-and-mortar book chains are going out of business, one by one.

Nobody wants to spend good money on the politically-correct fluff that they offer on their shelves.

This is also why the major MSM outlets are losing audience.

... to answer your question Scaramouche; because Heather

a) is threatened by male authors who assert a "masculinity" in their writings. (there are numerous other examples of authors not carried by Indigo.)

... and b) in her Liberal-leftard mind, giving shelf space to the rabid anti-semitic rants of publications like Adbusters, is supposed to somehow prove she is "open" to all ideas that further the feminization of society.

[any self respecting man would have thrown that publication out the door for being such degenerates. - Which is what Schreiber did at Shoppers Drug Mart once he became aware of what those a-holes were printing.]
