I won't give you the details here, because you can go to Ritholtz's blog and read all about them. McGraw-Hill has decided not to publish Ritholtz's book, Bailout Nation, because Ritholtz refused to tone down his strong criticism of the credit rating agencies, including Standard & Poors, which is wholly owned by McGraw-Hill.

Not only that, but McGraw-Hill asked Ritholtz not to alert the news media to the decision, then turned around and told some journalists that McGraw-Hill editors had decided not to publish the book because they did not like his style, and could not corroborate his footnotes.

Yeah, really. It's in a statement from a McGraw-Hill spokesthing.
