Fox News hired Jane Akre and a couple of other reporters as an
investigative unit and did a snazzy promo about that.
The first case they investigated was Monsanto’s bovine growth hormone, RBGH.
This is the whistleblower story behind the

Fox Can Lie lawsuit.

ITN in the U.K. reporting about Health Canada’s report on bovine growth hormone:

Monsanto’s engineered growth hormone did not comply with safety requirements.
It could be absorbed by the body, and therefore did have implications
for human health.
Mysteriously, that conclusion was deleted from the final, published version
of their report.

That was for a product that U.S. EPA had approved with little or no testing.
Fox’s investigative unit had the story, but Monsanto threatened to sue Fox.
Watch
the video for the details.

Eventually, Akre sued Fox.

She won, but

Fox won on appeal.
An appeal that established that Fox can lie.
