Salon.com - one of the great modern bastions of online liberal reporting,
has also reported the domperidone story - they posted the AP story as is,
no commentary, totally anti-domperidone, no analysis of impact on
breastfeeding duration, rates, whathaveyou.  However, they are usually very
good at investigative reporting and love a good conspiracy story.  I think
they would be a good media outlet to get deeper into this story.  Here is
the link to the domperidone story - it's on the front page of their "life"
section (formerly Mothers Who Think, in its heyday)
<http://www.salon.com/mwt/index.html> and
<http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2004/06/07/breast_milk_drug/index.html>.

I have already written them a letter asking them to investigate this
further, and have given some of the basic evidence mentioned here that the
FDA may be under formula-company influence, but I didn't see the 20/20
piece and am not as familiar with all of the background.  Anyone with a
couple of minutes, please drop a line to Salon - I think they might be able
to take on an investigation.  Letters to the editor at

Worth a try, right?
