The real problem is that the New York Times has only one editorial standard: To publish whatever sells more copies to their Upper West Side clientele. That means throwing biotechnology and chemistry under the bus while embracing organic food, acupuncture, and other forms of witchcraft.

Well, I'm always rather skeptical of drastic claims and counterclaims. It's worth having a look at who funds the American Council on Science and Health, for example:

Does this mean bias? Maybe. There are ALWAYS surprises.
Well, the Center for Media and Democracy is, according to Wikipedia, a "left-wing nonprofit watchdog and advocacy organization" that has accept funds from an organization founded by George Soros. Wikipedia also describes the American Council on Science and Health as a "pro-industry science education nonprofit organization." So pick your poison. I would suggest verifying or not what Berezow's article says. It looks sound to me, if rather over-the-top. Kristof does not impress when it comes science.
