Hello!
For Frontline to join Nova for a "report" is already a dead-give-away that
Frontline is now a compromised mercenary operation like Nova.
The Nova/Frontline GMO show bears the name "Harvest of Fear".
Do they not know the difference between well founded concern and fear?
The opening scene associates criticism of GMO policy with terrorism.
The rest of the show backs up the mercenary stance.
They use the old cliches: "well shucks m'am , we been cross breedin'
apples f'r ever" to obfuscate the issues involved with the possible
secondary and tertiary effects of transgenic manipulations.
WGBH is not "the best television on television" ; it is not
even "the best crap on crap".
