In light of the fact that Fox News actually went to court for a ruling to uphold the right of public broadcasters to order their reporting staff to knowingly lie to the public. To appease Monsanto (and keep Monsanto's advertising bucks flowing in) a Fox News station ordered two reporters to water down a report they had prepared on the human and animal health problems associated with Monsanto's Posilac, the artificial, genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. When the reporters objected and were consequently fired, they had a judgement for unfair dismissal overturned after Fox News appealed and the appeal court ruled there were no laws on the books compelling Fox News (or any public broadcaster) not to knowingly lie to its audience.
