Rigged? I've sure heard that word recently.
If you can't find quotes, and are just going by behavior, let's look at the behavior in a direct way. Why is the number one New York Times non-fiction bestseller (combined print and eBook) a personal attack on the presidential candidate they endorsed in the primary season and obviously are going to endorse in November? If the "list is strictly a promotional tool," then they are promoting you know which mid-Manhattan-resident presidential candidate. This is implausible.
