Conflict of interest at Irish Times

category national | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Thursday October 19, 2006 15:35author by down with Monsanto Report this post to the editors

Why the Times won't publish articles condemning GM

David McConnell, a molecular geneticist, is Professor of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin. He is head of the Irish Times Trust , the owner of the Irish Times. He also happens to be Co-Chair of the biotech lobby group EAGLES – European Action on Global Life Sciences (www.efb-eagles.org), which is funded by the European Federation of Biotechnology.

Small wonder then, that the Times so rarely publishes anything about GM and never criticises the technology. Of course, a recent letter critical of GM written by myself was also not published.
Needless to say, I will keep sending my letter until they get sick of me.....!

Just another example of vested interests destroying free speech in our 'democracy'
