The actual situation is far more interesting than the headline - the "endorsed" article is from The Onion, the editor is Jewish and a very long-term critic of the scientific establishment, and more. He ran for the US Senate in 2018.<p>If he was a normal (boring, careerist) editor, I might comment about third rails, and the idiocy of venturing near them. Given the article's backstory on Michael Eisen...I doubt that applies here. It sounds like he made a calculate public stand, and the outcome isn't particularly damaging to him.
