The Toronto Star looks at the Canadian Medical Association Journal scandal:

There’s a fear among some that the CMA’s relatively conservative leadership will skew the Journal toward the right “” a not unreasonable worry given the fact that delegates to the association’s annual convention last August voted overwhelmingly to support two-tier health care.

Kassirer’s panel says the CMA has to make up its mind. If it wants a house organ that slavishly follows the association line, it should say so. If it wants something more serious, it should set up system that, while providing some kind of accountability, protects those who write and edit from the whims of their employers. Here’s hoping.
