19 Jul 2011Public statements this week by the head of Greenpeace International and his opinion piece on The Drum website confirm the activist group would rather court the media than protect the public interest.
The consequence of this media-driven approach is that Greenpeace agitates on issues they can easily sensationalise instead of those that are most important. Greenpeace's determination to grab a headline regardless of the facts is most clearly shown by their baseless campaign against GM food.
