[0][1][2]&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;Not only did Kelland write a 2017 story that Monsanto asked her to write in exactly the way Monsanto executive Sam Murphey asked her to write it, (without disclosing to readers that Monsanto was the source,) but now we see evidence that a draft of a separate story Kelland did about glyphosate was delivered to Monsanto  before it was published, a practice typically frowned on by news outlets.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;usrtk.org&amp;#x2F;monsanto-roundup-trial-tacker&amp;#x2F;new-monsanto-documents-expose-cozy-connection-to-reuters-reporter&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;usrtk.org&amp;#x2F;monsanto-roundup-trial-tacker&amp;#x2F;new-monsanto...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;gmwatch.org&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;latest-news&amp;#x2F;18746-monsanto-fed-reuters-reporter-kate-kelland-with-info-to-discredit-iarc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;gmwatch.org&amp;#x2F;en&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;latest-news&amp;#x2F;18746-monsanto-fed-r...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;careygillam&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1121417187531677696&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;careygillam&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1121417187531677696&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
