In today's episode we're delving deep into Monsanto’s extensive corporate disinformation campaign used to shield its highly profitable, glyphosate-based herbicide, Roundup. We explore the playbook employed by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer), which included ghostwriting scientific papers, co-opting academics, and organizing attacks against journalists and WHO cancer researchers. These strategies, modeled after those of Big Tobacco and Big Oil, were designed to manufacture doubt and prevent regulation , despite evidence linking glyphosate to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Learn how internal documents expose five key spin tactics that prioritized profit over public and environmental health. This episode is based on information found in the report: www.usrtk.org on Merchants of Poison: How Monsanto Sold the World on a Toxic Pesticide.
