Why do you think Monsanto is never covered in the mainstream media?

Asked by tacres (559points) September 6th, 2012

In looking at another question I realized that this company is never really in any news stories. I have heard about it for years & have watched a documentary or two but that is it. Its like they are untouchable. In anything I have seen they have done some pretty reprehensible things especially in some third world countries. Why are not the Al Gores and Greenpeace calling them out? They mess with our food sources , have put hard working farmers into penury thru litigation, but they always get a pass. The general public seems clueless about what they do or that they even exist.I would like to see their butts dragged out into the light of close scrutiny. Patents on food plants, sue the farmer out of business because a neighbouring farm’s seed blew onto yours & you don’t have a licence to grow their patented plants? Am I the only one who is very worried about this?
