Its possible that Im more sensitive to the editorial process due to my background in public radio, where no decision I ever witnessed was predicated on how a topic or guest would 'rate.' On the other hand this mentality was common in the old USSR where party leaders would "suggest" mass production of books on subjects like tractor repair... ignoring the 'wants' of their people.
