Milloy''' is a columnist for [[Fox News]] and a paid advocate for [[Phillip Morris]], [[ExxonMobil]] and other corporations. From the 1990s until the end of 2005, he was an adjunct scholar at the libertarian [[think tank]] the [[Cato Institute]].
Milloy runs the website [[Junk science|Junkscience.com]], which is dedicated to debunking what he alleges to be false claims regarding [[global warming]], DDT, environmental radicalism and scare science among other topics.[http://www.junkscience.com/define.htm] His other website, [[CSR Watch.com]], is focused around attacking the [[corporate social responsibility]] movement. He is also head of the [[Free Enterprise Action Fund]], a mutual fund he runs with tobacco executive [[Thomas J. Borelli]], who happens to be listed as the secretary of the [[Advancement of Sound Science Center]], an organisation Milloy operates from his home in Potomac, Maryland.
In January 2006, Paul D. Thacker, a journalist who specializes in science, medicine and environmental topics, reported in ''The New Republic'' that Milloy has received thousands of dollars in payments from the [[Phillip Morris]] company since the early nineties, and that NGOs controlled by Milloy have received large payments from [[ExxonMobil]] [https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=20060206&s=thacker020606]. A spokesperson for [[Fox News]] stated, "Fox News was unaware of Milloy's connection with Philip Morris. Any affiliation he had should have been disclosed."
