The next generation of GMOs could be especially dangerous | Grist:
Recent posts have covered the dreadful article about micro RNA in rice and they way in which a correction of sorts was forced by blogger criticisms.
Chinese scientists identified potential problems in conventional rice (yet to be confirmed) , but The Atlantic headline screamed GMOs are the worry.
There is a interesting flow on item about this rice report at Grist, which continues the screeching about GMOs, and also gladly accepts advertising from an organic food company (Lundberg Rice) while continuing the screech.
That’s modern journalistic ethics for you. Confusion of news, opinion and advertising.
