Evil and Ignorant Comments to a Scientist Trying to Teach
On Thursday I was asked to be a guest on Russia Today's Breaking the Set with Abby Martin. It was the usual scientist and anti-Monsanto activist, one talking from reality and evidence and the other frothing forward silly and discredited talking points. False equivalence 101. It started to feel a bit like an ambush when the feed died. They knew I was on until 6:25 (there was limited satellite time purchased by them) and when I dropped at 6:25 the anti-GMO activist had free run to talk about "Bt in the blood", etc. They later apologized, said it was a mistake and read my closing statement live. However, right after the disconnection I felt like I had been swindled. I did check in on the message boards on the corresponding YouTube site, as I could at least get the word out there. It was a wretched hive of tweaked-out nonsense. Still is. I tried to add to the conversation. Here are a few choice tid-bits of comments on the corresponding You-Tube site.
