I don't see what your point is with bringing up Kevin Folta... He's also been criticized by the New York Times[0] and articles published in Nature[1]. I feel like criticizing his industry connections is pretty uncontroversial [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/us/food-industry-enlisted-academics-in-gmo-lobbying-war-emails-show.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/us/food-industry-enlisted...

My point is that CMD is quick to attack Kevin Folta (speaks favorably of conventional ag), but fail have same level of investigation of USRTK or Charles Benbrook[0] (university professor who sat the board of various organic organizations and takes money to write pro-organic studies). Why aren't then giving Benbrook the same coverage as Folta? My point is they pick who to watch based on their agenda.
