The Corporate Playbook: Decades of Glyphosate Disinformation
Episode 48
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.
