Magazine Publisher: Our magazine does not have a liberal bias. It is true that when a book review we had commissioned last year turned out to express distinctly conservative views, we did not publish it until we had also obtained a second review that took a strongly liberal position. Clearly, however, our actions demonstrate not a bias in favor of liberal views but rather a commitment to a balanced presentation of diverse opinions.
 Whether the book that was the subject of the two reviews was itself written from a clearly conservative or a clearly liberal point of view would be most useful in evaluating the cogency of the magazine publisher's response.
