Amazon Taking Down Bad Reviews of Hillary Book

What happened? What happened is that you left a bad review of Hillary's book on the site run by the owner of social justice blog, the Washington Post.

And Amazon must protect Hillary and the cash that is flowing from all those orders of Hillary's book by the failed Democrat candidates of tomorrow. 

Amazon was on the defensive end this week after receiving criticism for deleting negative reviews of Hillary Clinton’s new book.

The online retail giant acknowledged its decision to remove one-star reviews of Clinton’s memoir, What Happened, claiming they have the right to uphold reviews from legitimate customers.

“In the case of a memoir, the subject of the book is the author and their views,” an Amazon spokesperson told Fortune. “It’s not our role to decide what a customer would view as helpful or unhelpful in making their decision. We do however have mechanisms in place to ensure that the voices of many do not drown out the voices of a few and we remove customer reviews that violate our community guidelines.”

Most professional authors have experienced unfair negative reviews. And any controversial book or book by a controversial author on Amazon will attract them.

But most authors aren't Hillary Clinton. And don't merit special intervention by Team Bezos

Even in defeat, Hillary benefits from the special treatment that defined her candidacy and helped ensure her defeat.
