The author concludes that the Messenger will not interview Hermann. This is based on the fact that the Messenger won’t do anything that its editors believe will compromise their editorial integrity. In addition, in order to interview Hermann, he must be given the right to approve the article before publication.

We know that if the editors think something will compromise their editorial integrity, the Messenger won’t do it. So to conclude that the Messenger won’t interview Hermann, we want to know that the editors think interviewing Hermann will compromise their editorial integrity, or that they think that what Hermann requires in order to conduct the interview (the right to approve the article before publication) will compromise their editorial integrity.

(A), in connection with one of the premises, establishes that the Messenger will not grant Hermann the right to approve the article. Then, since Hermann won’t grant an interview unless he is given the right, (A) establishes that Hermann won’t grant the interview.

(B) doesn’t establish that the Messenger won’t grant Hermann the right to pre-publication approval. Just because it’s never happened before doesn’t guarantee that it won’t happen this time.

We know Hermann won’t grant an interview without pre-publication approval rights. What other TV stars do doesn’t matter.

What Hermann actually does with pre-publication approval rights doesn’t matter. The issue is whether granting him the pre-publication approval rights is something that editors think compromises their editorial integrity.

What Hermann beleives about Messenger edits doesn’t matter. The issue is whether granting him the pre-publication approval rights is something that editors think compromises their editorial integrity.
