More On Group Think?

An example of group think?

For example, I cannot overstate the fear and awe of the Third Triumverate – which is to say, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity – that pervades every conservative publishing house, because any one of these three men can make or break a book intended for a conservative audience. As I was told by one publisher: "You may not care about the consequences of taking on O'Reilly or Hannity, but we have to be careful." This is not moral cowardice on the part of the publishers, it is simply the market reality with which they must deal. It is also why most conservative commentators are eventually forced to decide if certain individuals are to be considered off-limits or not.
