“In 1997, the news division of WTVT in Tampa, Florida, planned to air an investigative report by Steve Wilson and Jane Akre on the health risks associated with Monsanto’s bovine growth hormone product, Posilac. Just before the story was to air, Fox received a threatening letter from Monsanto, saying the reporters were biased and that the story would damage the company. Fox tried to work with the reporters to address Monsanto’s concerns; Akre stated that she and Wilson went through 83 rewrites over eight months.Negotiations broke down and both reporters were eventually fired.”
