>>Today I read about a very interesting case of 2 fox journalists Steve Wilson and Jane Akre, reporting about rBGH used in milk even though the advertising on the milk said there was no bovine growth hormone.  Monsanto was very unhappy about the story coming out and Fox basically fired the journalists.

>>Of course, trying saying F*($ on television and saying that it's just a silly FCC rule that no one can enforce... lol

>>Without changing the laws all we have is propaganda.
