WUWM's Dan Edwards interviews local Fox News Director

[Bushfire]

Since the show was pre-recorded, I couldn't get my question on the Fox News RBGH lawsuit in where a different affiliate pressured their journalists to distort the news. Please consider contacting WUWM to pressure them to follow up on their interview by interviewing the local news director again, and the journalists who brought on the lawsuit. Here's my comment sent to: http://www.wuwm.com/contact/

Dear Dan Edwards,

You've interviewed the program director (Bob Clintonberg?) of our local affiliate of Fox News, but the show does not take phone calls unfortunately as it is prerecorded. I was hoping to call in to ask the news director his opinion of the ground breaking lawsuit brought on by former Fox News journalists who were pressured to distort the news at their affiliate. Please consider a follow up story, as it also effects the dairy industry which plays a huge part of the Wisconsin economy.

The whistle-blowing journalists, twice refused Fox offers of big-money deals to keep quiet about what they knew, filed their landmark lawsuit April 2, 1998 and survived three Fox efforts to have their case summarily dismissed. It is the first time journalists have used a whistleblower law to seek a legal remedy for being fired by for refusing to distort the news. They are now considering an appeal to the Florida state Supreme Court.
