Here's a link from RT.com (Russia Today): https://rt.com/news/monsanto-brazil-seed-soy-908/

I have no idea if they're trustworthy either, but Wikipedia[1] had this to say about them:

> RT is the second most-watched foreign news channel in the United States, after BBC News and the first most-watched news channel worldwide.

RT is most certainly not the most-watched news channel worldwide. That doesn't even make any sense.

RT is, however, a propaganda tool of Putin and friends. I most certainly wouldn't trust their numbers or anything else they publish for that matter.

Please don't quote anything from RT - it's as useful as quoting Gobbles.

While there is a chance it could be true, the association itself makes anything quoted extremely suspect.

Good to know. I had no idea what it was, but it looked more legit than the OP. Wikipedia seemed to back up the idea that it was a proper source, so I linked it.

I don't think you read far enough in the article :)

It's pretty much a Putin propaganda piece. Don't be mislead by their use of western journalists - they can only parrot the party line or put forward own fringe conspiracy theories.
