"Too liberal"

An anon editor has twice inserted text to the effect that S&S is commonly criticized as exorbitantly liberal, especially in view of its having published "many books attacking President Bush during the 2004 election". Even as I have heard the criticsm levelled once or twice, I don't think that the such criticims are widespread, and, in any case, find neither in the text inserted by the anon editor nor in the results of my own Googling any independent source toward the proposition that S&S is thusly criticized. In the absence of any adduction to the contrary, I think it inappropriate that we should include such text in the article, inasmuch as ascribing the phrase "it is often said" to a given idea here in often a means by which to attempt to advance an agenda/belief and portrary that agenda/belief as being widely held and widely known; in any case, the text inserted was surely unencyclopedic and unsourced. Notwithstanding all that, if the text should be re-added, I'll not revert, lest I should seem to be only one trumpeting concerns here; I imagine that if others concur in my assessment here, they surely will undertake the task.

Agreed. Since only a third of the country supports George Bush, one must be an evangelical Christian to consider a publishing house "too liberal" because it prints authors who are criticial of his stewardship of the country. --DavidShankBone 14:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

What happened to Simon & Schuster interactive? 68.13.200.189 (talk) 19:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Strebor

The Strebor link within this article is incorrect. It links to a "Strebor" company that is of no relation to the imprint of Simon and Schuster. Strebor publishes trashy novels of the romance category and similar ilk. That link should be broken or redirected to a "please create a profile for this link" page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.54.148 (talk) 14:30, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Summit Books

Why does Summit Books redirect here? Shouldn't it say "Summit Books" somewhere on the page? DAVilla (talk) 11:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Simon & Schuster Interactive

Why does S&S Interactive redirect here? There is no mention of that division of the company that existed from 1995 - 2003. --Cfj2222 (talk) 17:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Why does Poseidon Press redirect here ? 88.186.142.20 (talk) 13:24, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
