I've read some of Baen's output and have enjoyed it. It just seemed a rather harsh take on the company, particularly as it was the only publisher specifically mentioned in the article. It was as though it had been single out for contempt by the article's author. I kind of though he missed the point about the covers, as I always thought they were a combination of an homage to classic sf and a tongue-in-cheek take on it, but he just used them as a way of saying "these books have crap covers, have (supposedly) crap prose, and worst of all in my view, some are written by more conservative writers". Whether he's actually read any of the books I don't know. It's not even like I'm a rabid libertarian myself, but it just seems like he tarred all Baen's books with the same brush.
