Reporters Blow Whistle on FOX News
Added: June 11, 2007
FOX News told reporter: "We'll tell you what the news is. The news is what we say it is."
Reporters Steve Wilson and Jane Akre were first asked by FOX News and later bribed, to downplay a story they had on a cancer-causing growth hormone called Posilac. The reporters decided to blow the whistle on FOX News and filed a law suit. After the ordeal was over, it was discovered in the appeals court that it's actually not against the law to falsify the "News."

To make matters worse, Monsanto Corporation (makers of Posilac), lobbied dearly in Congress to prevent consumer awareness and labeling of their products.

They should put the heads these bastard's who fired these reporters on pikes as examples for this display of Monsanto and Fox's show of compliciency with corporate fascism. This pisses me off to the extreme degree.
Many years ago my daughter was hired as a reporter by Gannett newspaper chain, being a liberal fresh out of a large mind bending college, she had to learn the real world.
After four years and a good salary she quit and changed professions. It was endless warfare for her to fight with numerous editors to NOT change the substance of her reporting. They tried to assure her that regardless of the story and its content, it had to be made more "palatable" to the reading public.
Translation, "my job here is to satisfy my boss and keep my job".
Sorry to here of how she found her chosen profession to be just another version of prostitution.
I really loathe these bastards. When I found fraud in the Nader petitioning to get him on the ballot the last election and went to the media with it, they treated me like a piece of dynamite as it was deep Republican pockets funding the effort to get him on the ballot to either get a change in plurality to give the state to Bush or cost Kerry more spent resources here to secure Oregon.
I then took it to the SEIU Union and the law firm Kerry had hired to monitor the election in Oregon.
They aggressively seized the ammo I gave them and killed Nader's chances to be on the ballot. But even then, they didn't do it for the right reason - that it was corruption and illegal - they did it because they were shills working at the behest of another compromised puppet of a candidate, not agents of justice with high ethical standards.
You are lucky, your lifespan covers some really good years in our history. I get to see the start of the decline and my grand kids get to see the fall of this once great land.
I don't have too much optimism things will be set right, but one thing never changes, it is our obligation to keep fighting. To surrender to this is death, the sort of death a slave experiences; one where the body stays warm, but the heart and soul of the spirit once an inhabitant there in that body is ripped to pieces.
not agents of justice with high ethical standards.
This concept took me more than a few years to understand. But now I see the corruption everywhere, and when it's one on one, I make 'em very uncomfortable.
