(CLEVELAND) - The recognition of rock solid reporting is profoundly rare; many journalists work for years without receiving such accolades.

Addressing TV Professor Michael Shermer`s Unscientific Analysis

Canadian professor counters Shermer's watered down response in Scientific American article to 9/11 realities.
