The short story: FOX News reporters Jane Akre and Steve Wilson wrote a story on health risks associated with the use of synthetic bovine growth hormone in cattle. Monsanto, which makes the hormone, pressured FOX News to change the story to conceal the health issues, and FOX ordered Jane and Steve to change the story. They refused and FOX fired them. Jane and Steve sued for wrongful termination and LOST on appeal when the court ruled that there is no law requiring the mainstream media to report the truth to the public, and that therefore FOX News (and every other network) has the right to fire any reporter who refuses orders to lie.

Keep in mind that this is the same mainstream media that told you there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Keep in mind that this is the same mainstream media that counts and reports the national election results.
