John Bolton’s $2 million book deal about the Trump administration isn’t brave - Vox

Whether they're pro-Trump (see practically every book written by any Fox News personality) or anti-Trump (reporter Michael Wolff sold 4 million copies worldwide of his insider-y reported book, Fire and Fury), Americans seemingly can't get enough details about the man who has dominated the news in all formats for more than four years. And they're rewarding bad-faith publishing efforts as a result.

The book publishing industry has many problems, but the one I find most chilling as a former book editor who now reports in the industry is that people who have vital information about our democracy are rewarded for putting such info in books rather than coming forward.
