Refereeing is at the core of peer-reviewed publication. I've certainly 
run into referees who didn't know what they were talking about, and once 
got a paper published after pointing this out to the editor of the 
journal, but that was just the referee's human error.

No surprise there. Self-preservation is an integral part of any 
organisation that is going to survive, even when it compromises the long 
term viability of the organisation.

The early history of peer-reviewed publications saw most of them getting 
taken over by some faction or other and refusing to publish anything 
that wasn't written by a member of their faction.

The people excluded would then start their own journal, After a while 
people noticed, and stopped tolerating that kind of take-over, at least 
of the more important journals.

In recent decades we've seen a climate science journal infiltrated by a 
rogue editor from the climate change denial propaganda machine.

Pearce, Fred (2010). The Climate Files: The Battle for the Truth about 
Global Warming. London: Guardian Books. ISBN 978-0-85265-229-9. OCLC 
651155245.

does talk about that, but Fred Pearce is a journalist, not a scientist, 
and didn't understand why the rogue editor got kicked out, let alone 
that this was a virtuous act.
