I wonder, Gavin, how it must feel to have your name attached to to so much controversy in which the facts rest so heavily in your opponents’ favor..? Do you rest easy at night – do they pay you enough that you can convince yourself in material wealth that you have value as a person? Do you honestly believe that you are making the world a better place for future generations?

The fact of the matter remains: Gavin paints Mother Jones as a blatantly agenda-driven outfit. Gavin works for the National Fisheries Institute, which is undoubtedly a blatantly agenda-driven outfit which receives money from corporations which sell seafood and contributes money to political candidates.

Gavin is, by all counts, demonstrating either blithe denial of what his “institute” does, or Gavin is lying.

“My agenda is to promote and educate people about the healthy product that seafood is.”

Firstly, your post on this blog is frivolous if you are truthfully seeking to promote the agenda which you purport.

Secondly, aside from educating people, you are attempting to promote seafood? Or are attempting to promote people? Perhaps just get yourself a promotion?

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt – we can pretend that English is your second language.

While we are at it, let’s pretend you addressed my point, as well.

(Obviously you’re not here to do anything except react to my link to the article)

In case anyone wants to see some low-grade propaganda, Gavin has kindly provided a link.

If you’d prefer not to trouble yourself (and who would?), here is the first line from the AboutSeafood.com post:

I have had a look at an advanced copy of the Sept/Oct edition of Mother Jones. And I must say “Tuna Surprise” is not much of a surprise coming from such a blatantly agenda-driven outfit.

You are writing for AboutSeafood.com and calling someone else blatantly agenda-driven?

How stupid do you think your readers are, Gavin?
