Thu Apr 28, 2022, 09:19 AM
Apr 2022

There is a court decision that Fox was allowed to fire 2 employees because they wouldn't go on air and lie. Fox affiliate out of Florida.

A husband and wife team went around farms and orchards and documented all about fertilizers, use of pesticides and insecticides, use of steroids, use of anti-biotics, and more. Monsanto got wind of what was going down and the reporters expose' was re-written by Fox. The 2 reporters refused to go on air and read a doctored report. A court initially ruled Fox was wrong for terminating them, but after an appeal the higher court upheld the terminations.
