A couple of months ago we published an article on Sharyl Attkisson, a veteran investigative journalist and former CBS news investigative reporter who exposed how the mainstream media is funded by political, corporate, and other special interests. She also provided information about how they very effectively manipulate and distort media messages. You can read that article here.
Below is a video of something similiar that happened a couple of years ago at FOX news, but its still relevant today just as is the subject of big biotech corporations like Monsanto and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
Its great to have people working within the system go through their own awakening and follow their heart. This is no different from an individual within the military refusing to participate in a war. If we want change, it starts with a shift in consciousness one that is usually sparked by learning new information and evidence which the mainstream world is rarely exposed to.
As part of the process, they portrayed the various concerns as merely the ignorant opinions of misinformed individuals and derided them as not only unscientific, but anti-science. They then set to work to convince the public and government officials, through the dissemination of false information, that there was an overwhelming expert consensus, based on solid evidence, that GMOs were safe.

Yes they can be explained, it's called fakery.
And Jane Goodall has gone off the deep end by going all in with a guy who has *NO* credibility or credentials in science, in fact the only post-high school education he has is a degree in business from the Maharishi Yogi's "university," a notorious UNaccredited "college" that teaches students how to "fly" while their legs are crossed painfully.

This video is bullshit. Nothing more.

(4,234 posts)In other words, no matter how "true" the article itself (and the video) might be, it is "total bullshit"?
Did these people actually work for the Fox News outlet? Did they get fired after going through the long ordeal of grilling, bribing, etc. etc.? These questions are irrelevant? The only thing that matters is the source of the article?
I think there may be more than one source of bullshit here.
I personally believe the people on the video. I think Fox News and Monsanto have a long track record of distorting the truth or outright lying, and both corporate organizations have plenty of financial incentive to be lying in this case.

Now, if you have a source for this story that is actually credible, feel free to post it.

Incidentally, the source you claim is entirely bullshit looks to me to be quite harmless and possibly quite helpful to many people. It certainly doesn't look like some kind of hucksterism. Such things as "collective evolution" may seem like total bullshit to you but to some people it might have a quite different meaning.
Let others judge the site. It seems quite fair in its presentation of subject matter. Here it is for posters who want to take a look at it:
