 Media Matters - Penguin declares Klein biased, sticks author with onus for accuracy
The letter demanded clarification from Penguin as to whether certain factual claims in the book are valid and solidly sourced, but in no way suggested censorship of anyone's views, which we have neither the power nor the desire to bring about.
With regard to Penguin Group (USA)'s editorial standards, it is the long-established and legally recognized practice in book publishing that it is the author's responsibility to assure factual accuracy.
That statement is part of Penguin's misinformational reply to questions about the book, in that it is typical of someone who can not say, "We stand behind the book," so therefore they use such tactics as misdirection (censorship) and information overload to skirt the issue.
