Seeds of Truth: Vandana Shiva and the New Yorker
by Dr Vandana Shiva
Synopsis: Earlier this year The New Yorker published an article by Michael Specter titled "Seeds of Doubt". We are reprinting the reply of Dr Vandana Shiva who was the centrepiece of that article. As well as detailing its "fraudulent assertions and deliberate attempts to skew reality", Dr Shiva calls important attention to the ongoing efforts of Monsanto and the biotechnology industry to manipulate reporting of GMO issues in the media-including the publishers of The New Yorker. She also gives her assessment of the still misunderstood Indian experience with GMO Bt cotton that was the background to The New Yorker article.
yours sincerely

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
