Amazon Deletes Pro-Trump Trolls’ Nasty ‘Reviews’ Of Megyn Kelly’s Book

[Tudd Fudders]

[quote]Amazon appears to have drastically slashed the number of one-star reviews of Megyn Kelly’s new book, after reports of many low ratings linked to a Reddit forum from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

A whopping 76 percent of reviewers had rated Settle For More worthy of just one-star on the site, Slate reported on Monday.

By early Wednesday, only 21 percent of 288 Amazon reviewers had rated the book with one star, and 61 percent had given it five stars. By the end of the day, a total of 496 reviewers had rated the memoir, with 38 percent giving five stars and 49 percent giving 1 star.

An influx of negative reviews emerged hours after HarperCollins released the book on Nov. 15. The publisher’s executives brought the issue to the attention of Amazon, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Even with Amazon’s apparent intervention, some of the negative reviews are still vicious. Others accuse Kelly of trying to smear the president-elect. Some people seemed to notice their reviews had been deleted and reposted their negative statements...

...Amazon said its customer reviews “must be product reviews and are designed to help customers make purchase decisions.”[/quote]

Sounds like a good decision considering it was just people brigading it with phony reviews instead of actually purchasing the book and reading it for a real opinion on it's content.

Right, because this is somebody who needs to have lies made up about him and smear campaigns run against him. Trump totally doesn't do a good enough job showing the world what an abhorrent person he is with his own words and behavior lol...

lmao[/QUOTE]Am I remembering correctly, that purchasing something on Amazon, reviewing it, then immediately getting a refund before it's delivered allows one's review to still have the verified purchase tag?

I'll never understand why you can review something on amazon without buying it.

It's for people who bought same item from a different retailer. It works in general but some people are cunts like in this example.
