CBS Canceled Sanders Agriculture Interview Because Monsanto Was “Threatening To Sue”

Bernie Sanders alleged that CBS once canceled an interview with him — because Monsanto, the agricultural tech giant, had threatened to sue the network.

. . .

I’ll never forget this. I was invited by CBS, not a small company, to appear on television to talk about why I was opposed to bovine growth hormone. CBS then called me up and said, ‘Well, Monsanto is threatening to sue us, so we can’t go on with it.’ They are very powerful.

1. I didn't realize I was so naive. Didn't know they would do that.

Doesn't Hillary have a Monsanto lobbyist on her staff?

[Triana]

2. I don't know, but she gets lots of Monsanto $$$$

5. Tad Devine (Bernie's campaign manager) worked for the law firm representing Monsanto

Winston and Strawn got Monsanto a $1billion win.

3. Only one?

Praise Nancy! Third Way or the Highway!

4. This needs more exposure. It is more confirmation

That the 4th estate no longer exists.

[oberliner]

6. More details would need to be provided

Who at CBS told Bernie this? Is there confirmation?

[gregcrawford]

8. C'mon...

... do you seriously doubt for a second that Monsanto would do this? They are one of the most litigious companies fouling the planet, literally and figuratively. They employ roving hordes of rabid lawyers to sue anyone and everyone that even thinks of impeding their stated goal of controlling food production and distribution, from seed to supper. They are mounting a case against Bernie's - and my - home state of Vermont over a GMO labeling law.

Monsanto is one of the most evil corporate entities ever conceived, and should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

14. They are definitely litigious

And it's certainly possibly that they would have threatened this.

I just think it would be good to get someone from CBS to confirm.

11. Well, this is what fascism is--corporations controlling a country. nt

[Vilis Veritas]

13. Bam. Drop the mic!

This is why Bernie and this movement is so important. Whatever happens the revolution Bernie has started must never die.

12. Bernie is the real deal.
