They just make stuff up as they go along
Wow.   The Projo editors are so scared at being called out for their lack of ethics they even have to make stuff up when they chastise people writing letters to the editor. In today's free online version of the Journal, Michele Gousie of Bristol takes the Journal on for their hap hazard and politically motivated spin on whether State Senator John Tassoni would be an arbitrator.  In response, they let rip with this doozy:Editor's note: We know the difference between the two.
