Editor intimidated by TRUTH?

In his March 18 letter,  "Shabby Sheldon Whitehouse", Joseph A. Matais of Portsmouth claims that the Senator is "attempting to intimidate The Journal". . .  for its oh-so-fair coverage of the climate change debate, of course. But like the Creationism nonsense this is NOT a debate within Science.

Senator Whitehouse is not the first person to understand that the editorial page autocrat, Ed Achorn, is simply on the wrong side of science. Is the truth so intimidating to Mr. Achorn? Does the newspaper's new publisher, Janet Hasson, share his science illiteracy? Or perhaps his right-wing agenda which is OH SO RHODE ISLAND, is it not?
