The media's use of child activists is criticized as a manipulative PR tactic. Rachel Parent, a 14-year-old anti-GMO activist, is highlighted for her polished interview style on Canadian television. Similarly, 12-year-old Milo Kress, founder of the "Be Straw Free" campaign, is featured in an NPR report. The hosts argue that these children are being coached by adults to push specific agendas, making them difficult for journalists to challenge.
