2. The Skinny on Regnery
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 07:53 PM by BlueScreen
Regnery is a complete right wing propaganda press. Take a look at some of their recent hits: http://www.regnery.com/new/new.html

They launched a cottage industry of anti-Clinton tomes during the 1990s, and include on their roster such authors as William F. Buckley, Bill Bennett, Bernie Goldberg, Laura Ingraham, Rich Lowry, David Limbaugh, Richard Miniter, and Robert Patterson-- Clinton-haters, all. Regnery usually publishes angry polemics from the right that respectable publishers decline to print.

Some background from Wikipedia--

Regnery Publishing is an American publisher that specializes in conservative books. It was founded in 1947 by Henry Regnery, and was originally located in Chicago, Illinois. It originally had a close affiliation with the University of Chicago, and published books for the Great Books series at the University, which were primarily classics. One of the first major books it published was William F. Buckley's God and Man at Yale. In the 1970's Henry's son, Henry F. Regnery, worked at the company, but he was killed in a commercial airliner crash. In the 1980s, Alfred S. Regnery, another son of Henry, took control of the company. The company is now part of Eagle Publishing, which is an affiliated company of Phillips Publishing. Recent bestsellers of the company include Gary Aldrich's Unlimited Access, Barbara Olson's Hell to Pay, Goldberg's Bias and several others. The company is presently located in Washington, DC. It is a sister company of conservative newspaper Human Events.
