Petition from Fired Fox Journalists [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
PR Watch has reported in the past on the story of Jane Akre and Steve Wilson [3], 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 [4] 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.
