Accuracy in Media: Today’s “Flock-Fleecer” Award Winner
Accuracy in Media (AIM) touts itself as a grassroots watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted [accurate] coverage.
At its so-called online store, AIM laughingly claims it offers discounted books and that it is “committed to offering you the best prices possible.”
The table below clearly debunks the claim of discounted books at the best prices. In fact, AIM is really in the business of fleecing their customers by pocketing as much as $21.00 on a book that could be bought at Amazon.com for $0.85.
What is truly troubling is the fact that AIM is a so-called non profit organization, which means it doesn’t have to pay any taxes on the sales of books. Of course Amazon and Barnes & Noble and/or their counterparts don’t get such a break.
