There <i>is</i> a <i>de facto</i> conspiring oligopoly preventing publication of certain political views, which Correia knows about and mentioned in his post because he&#x27;s experienced it firsthand.  It&#x27;s not a <i>direct</i> conspiracy, to be sure, but it&#x27;s a <i>de facto</i> conspiracy because the publishing executives are all part of the same culture and have the same views.<p>What you&#x27;re engaging in is part of the second way Correia predicted that Cole would be attacked and dismissed, namely, by quibbling over the exact definitions of &quot;censorship&quot; and &quot;banned.&quot; Oh, and we have <i>Cole&#x27;s own words</i> about why the publisher rejected the book. The publisher yanked the book of the schedule, <i>without even asking first</i> if Cole would revise the point that they found unacceptable.
