The extraordinary story of the suppression, by Fox News executives, of a 1997 investigative news report on a genetically engineered hormone, Bovine Growth Hormone. The story was killed after pressure from the corporation that developed it - Monsanto - which is affiliated with top Fox advertisers. The station first asked the journalists to change the story and when they refused, Fox then offered to pay the reporters to keep quiet, before finally firing them and refusing to air their report. |
