The writer makes a common mistake in defining and then criticizing the role of a publisher. Publishers are not reporters. They do not cover meetings and submit objective stories. It is a publisher's job to get involved and, in many cases, be the driving force in making things happen in a community or a state or nation. It would be nice to be able to sit back and pretend to be above it all in a non-active, non-judgmental way, but reality dictates otherwise.
