CMD profiled ACSH again in 1998, noting that although ACSH styles itself as a "scientific" organization, it does not carry out any independent primary research. Instead, it specializes in generating media advisories that criticize or praise scientists depending on whether they agree with ACSH's views. It has mastered the modern media sound byte, issuing a regular stream of news releases with catchy, quotable phrases responding to hot-button environmental issues. To read more, see the page [[Panic Attack: ACSH Fears Nothing but Fear Itself]].
Since then, CMD has written numerous stories about ACSH's industry ties, including an expose in 2012 about how ACSH was identified by Syngenta as a vehicle for pushing back about concerns about the weedkiller [[atrazine]]. Syngenta has funded ACSH (see [[#Funding|below]]). More information about ACSH and Atrazine is available at CMD's [http://www.AtrazineExposed.org AtrazineExposed.org] website.
