EW Scripps (separate business from Scripps research) has an unusual slogan for a company in the MK business.
"Give the people a light and they will find their own way"
If EW Scripps aren't lying pedovores we may have stumbled across an honest news and entertainment organization, the 4'th largest such company in the US. Personally skeptical , but it is possible if not plausible.
EW Scripps is distinguished from Scripps Research which is:
>The Scripps Research Institute bears the name of its founder, Ellen B rowning Scripps, a member of the family that also founded the Scripps chain of 21 daily newspapers, today part of the media holdings of Th e E.W. Scripps Company
>The Scripps Research Institute is one of the largest nonprofit resear ch organizations in the United States. Based in La Jolla, California, the Institute is composed of eight departments: cell biology, chemis try, immunology, experimental medicine, infectology, molecular biolog y, neurobiology, and neuropharmacology.
…Scripps staff includes 27 0 professors, three Nobel Prize winners, 800 post doctoral fellows, 1,500 laboratory technicians, and 126 Ph.D. studen ts.
Most of the Institute's funding comes from grants from the Nation al Institutes of Health (NIH) and alliances with pharmaceutical companies.

Vernor Vinge, a mathematician and professor emeritus at UCSD, recently wrote a book set in the realm of advanced bio tech. Other than Wuhan, most of the advanced research and capacity is found in the string of spooky, extremely well funded labs that start at LaJolla and run south along the 'gold coast' to the MX border. Notable, J Craig Venter Institute - home to the most unpleasant geneticist, the audacious J. Craig V. JCV, when asked by the awed NPR announcer what it felt like to 'play God" Venter replied "we're not playing"
JCV created synthetic life by combining 4 chemical to produce synthetic DNA which when injected into the nucleus of a living call was able to function and replicate. The basis for Venter's claim to be the first to create synthetic life.
There is no such thing as synthetic life, any more than there is 'artificial' intelligence; there is only life and intelligence; however and by whomever or whatever expressed.
The EW Scripps media company, Scripps Research, and the Scripps Universities are also separate from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, also located on the gold coast.
