I wrote to Penguin Books, telling them that I changed my mind about buying a book they had published because I objected to their poor editing & fact-checking of Ed Klein's Hillary smear.
Their pugnacious response (with grammatically incorrect usage of "as" instead of "because") appears below the fold. I hope it does, anyway. This is my first post.
Silly me, I thought book publishing was about selling books.
Dear Reader,
We appreciate your opinion about the publication of The Truth About Hillary by Edward Klein, and we sincerely value you as a reader of our books.
As Penguin Group (USA) publishes approximately 3,500 new books each year through our numerous imprints, our steadfast opposition to any form of censorship guarantees a broad range of views, touching on every point of the political compass.
Therefore, while the opinions of and statements made by Mr. Klein do not reflect the opinions and viewpoints of Penguin Group (USA) or our parent company, Pearson plc, our commitment to defending our authors' right to be heard extends to him no less than to any other author we publish.
Penguin Group (USA) has never let public opinion or the media dictate what we will or will not publish.
Sincerely,
Penguin Group (USA) Inc.
