PBS Boycott: KCTS 9 Response Email to Member (2)

Show Details | KCTS 9 - Public Television:

Dear Florence,

As you may know, KCTS 9 has become the target of an organized campaign by anti-GMO activists who claim that the QUEST episode “Next Meal: Engineering Food” is "pro-GMO" and/or funded by corporations, especially those that benefit from GMO crops. The program is neither. It is a journalistic piece that explores the science behind genetic engineering while including multiple perspectives on the issue. Funder credits are included in the show.

We encourage viewers to watch the full program and judge it on its own merits, rather than on the opinion of others. The program airs on Wednesday, 10/30, at 7:30 pm, and it’s available for viewing online here: http://science.kqed.org/.../next-meal-engineering-food/.

Our goal is to provide relevant, informative content for our viewers and allow viewers to make their own decisions based on the information presented. Thank you for your message. It's important to hear your feedback.

You may be interested in our other collaborative reporting project, EarthFix, and its reports on Initiative 522 and GMOs: http://www.earthfix.info/tagged/GMO/.

The hidden story about vaccines, autism, drugs and food… Americas health has been BOUGHT. Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street… “If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.” Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma. Three big, BIG, okay… HUGE topics in one film. Why? Why not 3 films, why put all this in one movie? Great question, 2 answers. 1st and most importantly: We need to band together. We need a mainstream film, not another radical movie that only interests the “already converted”. Over 5 million people supported Prop 37 in CA. Reportedly, over 2 million worldwide marched against Monsanto in a global protest. T...vaccine expansion, and our love affair with pharmaceuticals- it’s the same villain. It’s a risky story to tell, but would be a tragedy to passively consent to with silence. There is something horribly wrong with health care today. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD’s aren’t being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled. Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time. Three huge stories, each worthy of multiple films, but each brought together by one staggering fact: it’s the same villain. These three story lines converge on Wall Street, in a tale of corruption, greed and shocking lack of conscience.
