The Proposal to Outlaw the Home Garden - HR 875 and S 425

WVTomatoMan · March 31, 2009

Speaking of retractions and/or clarifications consider the following:

An editorial in the March 18 Las Vegas Review-Journal stated Stanley Greenberg, husband of Connecticut Democratic Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, who has proposed legislation imposing new mandates on food producers, “is a leading Democratic political strategist and consultant with clients including pesticide and fertilizer giant Monsanto.” Both DeLauro’s office and a spokesman for Greenberg’s firm said Thursday that Monsanto has not been a client of Greenberg’s for more than 10 years.

The OpEdNews article by Linn Cohen-Clole contained the following:
...HR 875, was introduced by Rosa DeLauro whose husband Stanley Greenburg works for Monsanto...

That article is riddled with misinformation and exaggerations yet people still keep quoting it. When it turns out to be a newspaper they'll end up printing a retraction/clarification.
