---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Latham <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 10:47 AM Subject: Seeds of Truth: Vandana Shiva and the New Yorker To: [email protected] Dear All Published today (Dec 15th) on *Independent Science News*: *Seeds of Truth: Vandana Shiva and the New Yorker* by Dr Vandana Shiva http://www.independentsciencenews.org/un-sustainable-farming/seeds-of-truth-... *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 Jonathan Latham, PhD Executive Director The Bioscience Resource Project Ithaca, NY 14850 USA www.independentsciencenews.org and www.bioscienceresource.org [email protected] Skype: jonathanlatham2 Tel: 1-607-319-0279 “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
