"Unfortunately, most reporters writing on the topic fail to dig under
the surface spin of their sources. A closer look at some of these
sources suggests that the anti-organic narrative did not arise
organically.
Riley’s “organic mommy mafia” narrative
in the New York Post starts off with a few examples of moms who are “so
crazy” and “worried” about non-organic food that they harass other
moms, then quotes her main source, author and conservative activist
Julie Gunlock."
And just who is this Julie Gunlock?
"Gunlock is director of the Culture of Alarmism Project
at the Independent Women’s Forum, a group that “gets its funding from
right-wing foundations and other conservative interests including the
Koch Brothers,” explained Karl Grossman, professor of journalism at the
State University of New York/College at Old Westbury (and a FAIR
associate), in a recent CounterPunch piece (4/30/14)."
And, who are the Koch Brothers?
"The Koch brothers are the conservative billionaire co-owners of a
conglomerate of chemical and oil companies, including Koch Ag &
Energy Solutions. They and other biotechnology/chemical companies have a
lot to lose from the explosive growth of pesticide-free organic foods."
Propaganda no less.
