Sad but true question from the local bookstore
I went to a local bookstore this week to buy a biography about one of the presidential candidates. It was a spontoneous decision to buy this book so I hadn’t done any research ahead of time or looked at any reviews.
So I asked the bookstore owner which book would he recommend about this particular person. I told him that I really want to learn about this person and get a full pciture. He replied, “Are you a liberal or conservative?”
I answered, “No, no, sorry for the confusion. I’m looking to “learn” about this candidate. Which book is the best to learn the most I can about this particular candidate?”
He repeated his question.
Of course his answer was the correct one given the bias in play with these books.
But that is sad. Sad and true.
(btw, I left with the liberal version).
