Knight-Ridder News Service gives Murry J. Cohen of militant animal-rights group Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine a free ride in a syndicated editorial. In effort to scare to public with baseless claims about meat and dairy products, Cohen writes: “As we fret over the possibility of a modern plague, we live a self-fulfilling prophecy by continuing to eat meat and other animal products.” (“Eating responsibly in the age of the epidemic,” Knight-Ridder, 3/1/00.)
