Thanks to the OP for bringing this article to our attention. Personally, as you all know, I think the article was ridiculous and unfair, and its charges should be ignored. I neither want nor need to filter what I choose to read by reference to the political views of a publisher, even one who has had the effrontery to air those views in public. And if this means I am exposed to the odd badly written book, then I think I will manage to survive. Far better this than to exclude from possible reading the catalog of a whole publisher based on the ignorance and prejudice of one article in a newspaper of the opposite political persuasion.
