FCC Petition from Fired Fox Journalists (Tampa Bay affiliate)
PETITION FROM FIRED FOX JOURNALISTS
http://tampabay.bizjournals.com/tampabay/stories/2005/01/03/daily9.html?page=1
PR Watch has reported in the past on the story of Jane Akre and
Steve Wilson, two former investigative reporters at Fox TV's
affiliate station in Tampa Bay, Florida who say the network ordered
them to broadcast false and distorted news reports regarding the
Monsanto company's genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone. Now
Akre and Wilson are petitioning the Federal Communications Commision
to reject the station's request for license renewal on grounds that
it is not operating in the public interest.

1. It's about time they
started objecting to what they are being asked/told/demanded to do when they know it's not right!

Go Jane and Steve!
