In a letter written for the Heartland Institute, Chicago Sun-Times business editor Dan Miller urges journalists to "keep an open mind" on global warming. Sun-Times editor-in-chief Michael Cooke says he didn't know about the letter and wants to discuss it with Miller. (Phil Rosenthal couldn't reach him for comment.) Poynter's Bob Steele says: "He is actively urging a particular examination, and I would suggest a point of view, on a substantive public policy issue. He's also pitching it in a problematic way to other journalists, using his journalistic connections in doing so."
