"Dr. Gordon's joke was an effective way to bring AAP's attention to its conflict of interest and 
the damage they are causing to this nation."

The AAP is well aware, and have been for years, that they have a conflict of interest in this issue.
No one needs to "bring it to their attention." 
They have had and will continue to have, many internal disagreements and conflicts about the best
strategy for them to pursue to enable them to do what they want to do.  We may all disagree with
their decision to continue accepting money from the infant formula companies, even though that
money allows them to fund many other important projects that do improve children's health.  

Again, I repeat, that is not the main issue here.  The issue here is that Dr. Gordon claimed that Dr. Tayloe
and the AAP said something that they did not.  That is dishonest.
