FNC's Pete Hegseth Tops NYTimes Book List

A Fox news host has crushed Jen Psaki in book sales despite the former White House press secretary's book coming out weeks before his.

The Daily Mail reports Pete Hegseth's book 'The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men who Keep us Free' has sold 60,000 copies since it was released on June 4.

By comparison, ex-Biden spokeswoman Psaki's 'Say More' which was released May 6 has sold less than 22,000 total copies to date according to Bookscan.  Her MSNBC colleague Joy Reid's 'Medgar and Myrlie' has sold 28,469 copies since being published in early February. And Hegseth has also hammered CNN host Jake Tapper's 'All The Demons Are Here', which has sold just 15,427 copies in the 11 months it has been on sale.  

Hegseth's debut went to number one on the New York Times bestseller's list, his fourth time making an appearance on the weekly rankings.

It comes despite research by the Economist which suggests the newspaper's iconic bestsellers list is less likely to include works by conservative authors, even if they sell the same amount of copies as other works. Tech mogul Elon Musk is among those who sounded the alarm over potential political bias.

He tweeted that the NYT is 'pure propaganda' after the book 'Troubled', the book which exposes the hypocrisy of the American elite by social critic Rob Henderson. failed to dent the listing despite healthy sales in its first week.

The NYT has never disclosed the metrics behind its weekly rankings leading other conservatives to believe they too have been targeted. Other alleged victims include Ted Cruz, radio host Clay Travis and former White House press secretary under George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer.

The study found that on on average, books by conservative publishers are seven percentage points less likely to make it onto the NYT bestseller list than those with comparable sales.

Hegseth's latest title explores d how changes in the armed services has affected those in uniform and uncovered 'deep dysfunction' in the military.

The news anchor was an infantry Major in the Army National Guard with tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.  He holds two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge for his service in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

He joined FOX News as a contributor in 2014 and is currently a co-host of Fox & Friends alongside Will Cain and Rachel Campos-Duffy.
