The Union of Concerned Scientists says the exact opposite. One is funded by industry, the other from individual contributions. I know which one I think is right.

Being funded by the public doesn't mean the studies won't be biased. Just as the study proposed might have been biased, since it's financed by GMO producers, your study could be biased because of an agenda of the members doing the study or pressure from the bigger funders or commercial interests.

As an aside, it does not mean that the study you linked is wrong, I'm trying to say that everyone can be subject to bias.
