Amazon squashes Trump trolls' attacks on Megyn Kelly book 
 
 CLOSE Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly went one-on-one with USA TODAY and talked about a whole range of issues, including Donald Trump and the 2016 presidential election. USA TODAY 
 
 Amazon appeared to remove several politically motivated negative reviews of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly's memoir Settle for More after a flood of one-star ratings drew media attention. 
 
 As of early Wednesday, 17% of the reviewers on Amazon gave the book one star. At one point, as many as 76% of the reviews were one-star, Slate reported. 
 
 The Los Angeles Times reported that many of the reviews were linked to a pro-Trump Reddit forum called "The_Donald." 
 
 Some commenters picked up on the removal of the negative reviews. "Tim from MD.," for example, wrote a post titled "Over 120 1 star reviews have been deleted. Are we living in a free country anymore?" 
 
 "Trump is president, but she wrote the book certain Clinton would win," Tim from MD. wrote. "Now the book and her shows advertisers are getting boycotted. So apparently her attorneys have called to get negative reviews deleted. And they succeeded. I'm shocked." 
 
 Brianna wrote, "I have written many thoughtful reviews as to why this book is horrible! They have all been removed even though I am a reputable Amazon customer/reviewer which is why originally Megyn had the true rating of one and a half stars and now four and a half FIXED STARS!" 
 
 Amazon did not remove all the reviews that seem to focus more on the recent presidential campaign than the contents of the book. One reviewer who gave the book a single star wrote nothing more than "Anti-Trump." Another wrote that she is still upset "over trump calling her out," and one reviewer said, "As unpopular and uninteresting as her show. MAGA," using the acronym for "Make America Great Again." 
 
 Kelly's publisher, Harper Collins told the L.A. Times that the onslaught of negative reviews had "the hallmarks of an orchestrated effort to discredit the book and our author Megyn Kelly,” adding that “We have brought it to the attention of Amazon.”

 Perhaps you have heard that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has written a memoir. Called Settle for More, it chronicles her 12-year ascent through the company ranks—including her alleged harassment at the hands of Fox Chairman Roger Ailes and her high-profile feud with American horror story Donald Trump. The book came out this past Tuesday, whereupon the press immediately mined it for revelations about the trolls who threatened Kelly’s life, the campaign lawyers who incited the trolls, and the Uber driver who may have poisoned her coffee before the first debate. But on the book’s Amazon page, its treatment has been particularly strange. 
 
 As of Friday morning, Settle for More had amassed almost 400 reader reviews, more than half of which were one-star (the lowest rating). “This woman is not a journalist,” grumbled a representative blurb. “She is an attention seeker … She is also paid by the DNC to report fake stories that have no truth to them whatsoever.”

 Another review addresses the owner of the world’s most famous bleeding wherever directly: “Wow get over yourself. Your not that good! … Your treatment of Newt and Trump was inexcusable.” 
 
 These are just a few of the submissions that Amazon did not delete on Wednesday (it has apparently since deleted even more) after Kelly’s publicist at HarperCollins—a biased source, to be sure, but still making a reasonable point—noted that the deluge of pans “has the hallmarks of an orchestrated effort to discredit the book and our author.” (Before Amazon’s first purge, a whopping 76 percent of the reports were one-star.) Many comments arrived via a Reddit forum called The_Donald, which linked to Kelly’s Amazon page and hinted, in tones redolent of a Sicilian mobster, “It would be a shame if her biased reporting was reflected in the customer reviews!” 

 These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.The goal is to fix all broken links on the web .

– Megyn Kelly's new book has been getting the Amy Schumer treatment on Amazon since its release last week, with critics leaving one-star reviews along with comments such as "put some clothes on." Now Amazon has apparently stepped in. Publisher Harper Collins says it alerted Amazon to reviews of the Fox anchor's book that had "the hallmarks of an orchestrated effort to discredit the book," reports the Los Angeles Times. Since then, some "politically motivated negative reviews" have disappeared from the site, reports USA Today. At one point, 76% of reviews gave Settle for More one star, reports Slate. As of about 1:30pm Eastern Wednesday, 42% of 406 Amazon reviews give the book one star, while 45% give it five stars. The numbers were changing quickly—with the total number of reviews bouncing up and down along with the percentages. The LA Times notes that many one-star reviews appeared to come from a pro-Trump Reddit forum where a post linking to Kelly's book on Amazon read, "It would be a shame if her biased reporting was reflected in the customer reviews!" (Kelly and Trump were at odds during the election.) The same forum launched a similar attack against Hillary Clinton's Hard Choices. But several Amazon reviewers have complained that their legitimate reviews have disappeared, while one-star reviews in which users admit to never opening Kelly's book remain.
