Politicizing this is what ag lobby would want!
This is very disturbing, and if it is what it seems, I hope Ms. Himlie reaps what she has sown.
But I also want to caution my enviro-friendly friends that politicizing this too much is likely exactly what would make the ag lobby happiest.
It probably bothers the ag lobby that there is gathering scientific consensus about the damage corporate agricultural practices are exacting in the gulf of Mexico. This is their way of casting doubt, and getting mainstream jouranlists to do the same thing they do with climate change - frame it as a "he said" "she said" story, because the lobbying firms are able to invent opposition that is not supported by the science.
