An article about Jensen needs more than just shots about his 9/11 editorial. Remember WP:NPOV's commands about balance. And as for this sentence: He is best known for a series of controversial opinion pieces he published in the Houston Chronicle shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Really? Better than for his professorship? Better than for the three books he's written and who knows how many magazine and other opeds? This language is too authoritative. Maybe conservatives like him least becuase of his 9/11 editorial, but this hardly makes it what he is most well-known for. · Katefan0 13:31, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Then by all means, Katefan, quit whining and write it! I intentionally flagged this article as a biography stub with the hopes that somebody with the time would develop it beyond the 4 or 5 sentences I put in to get it started. And yes, he is best known for the 9/11 articles which made national news and got him condemned by the university president. Beyond that, the guy's a minor assistant journalism professor of no particular distinction. Using the "google" test so many of your buddies are fond of, the terms "Robert Jensen" and "9/11" get 30,000 hits compared to 22,000 for "robert jensen" and "professor" and 19,000 for "robert jensen" and "journalism," so going by that he is indeed best known for the 9/11 incidents.
