Cotton industry running down myths and misinformation

Cotton industry running down myths and misinformation, A story about myths surrounding organic cotton's reduction of pesticide use. the myth overstates pesticides by 500x and seems to go unchallenged by anyone, except Cotton Incorporated. I'd wonder why the media doesn't challenge fallacious statements such as the amount of pesticides used and allows the myths to grow. It is either that they are too lazy to check sources or that they have some political point to make, or both. It's beginning to be believe half of what you see and nothing you read that you cannot verify from multiple independent sources.
