But you'll miss a lot of really enjoyable stories if you don't look at Baen books. I can only think that the article writer has missed the wonderful books by Bujold, Lee and Miller, Flint, Spencer, Lambshead, Moon, Hoyt, ... so many great authors who aren't shoving political opinions down your neck within their books.

I think that occasionally Ringo likes to spoof himself. Some of his stuff, I really liked, others I thought was ok, still others I simply couldn't get into.
I agree with the earlier poster that Baen saw a market niche and filled it. He also has a wide range of author types from hard right gun porn types to new age types.
