"If you are anti-GMOs you are anti-science." [View all]

[AxionExcel]

That mind-twisting meme is a steady, unrelenting drumbeat...

It's also a deliberate and ongoing corporate propaganda strategy.. Be wary of of the "tent pole" strategy.

"Recent disclosed documents have also exposed numerous scientific experts enlisted in Monsanto’s messaging (and other corporate messaging as well). But what is most pernicious is that a whole new rhetorical talking point has come to the forefront, which threatens anyone – particularly scientists – who speak out against their “tent pole” technology: If you are anti-GMOs you are anti-science...

The new talking point represents a brilliant strategy to promote genetic engineering. Most people do not want to be characterized as anti-science, not journalists, not public officials, not celebrities, and least of all, not trained and educated scientists. Furthermore, the propaganda plays to pro-science liberals who have accused conservatives of being anti-science due to their denial of climate change."
