That's a pretty naive thing to say. If the publisher of a journal disagrees
with a particular position, whether academic, scientific, or political, then
it won't publish the article.

I'm not defending or condeming the article in question -- I haven't read it.
I don't have a dog in this fight. But, what you said, John, is just not the
way the world works.


And yet it happens all the time. Especially when a journal publishes
"both sides" of a story. There's no way the publisher can agree with
both disagreeing viewpoints.
