they aren't saying that the universe is rotating but that it has a
preferred orientation, which is probably just as heretical :-)

Much more so, actually!

Although the Universe does not in fact appear to be rotating, --

-- there's no reason it couldn't have been. All of the known
laws of physics are perfectly consistent with a rotating Universe.
The anisotropy
described in these links would have required a quite surprising
change
in the laws of physics if it had been true. (As it happens,
it isn't true.
Numerous people, including me, pointed out errors in the
original analysis.)
