Fox News Kills Monsanto Story

The extraordinary story of the suppression by Fox News executives of

an investigative news report on a genetically engineered hormone. The

story was killed after pressure from the corporation that developed it

first asked the journalists to change the story and when they refused,

Fox then offered to pay the reporters to keep quiet, before finally

firing them and refusing to air their report. (Time 9:59)

Prof Seralini Interviewed About Organ

Damage Linked to GM Maize

This is an interview with Prof. Gilles-Eric Séralini, the leader of

the research team from the Committee of Independent Research and

Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN) and the Universities of

Caen and Rouen which obtained Monsanto's confidential raw data of its

2002 feeding trials on rats, after a European court made it public in

2005. The data "clearly underlines adverse impacts on kidneys and

liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, as well as different levels of

damages to heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system,"

reported Prof. Séralini, a molecular biologist at the University of

Caen. Their December 2009 study appeared in the International Journal of

Biological Sciences (IJBS). (Time: 9:38)
