:22:00
and says okay wed like you
to make these changes.
:22:02
In fact you will
make these changes.
:22:05
We said well look let us
show you the research
:22:07
that we have that
shows that this information
:22:09
you want us to
broadcast isnt true.
:22:11
To which he replies.
:22:12
I dont care about that.
:22:14
I said pardon me?
:22:15
And he said well thats
what I have lawyers for
:22:17
just write it the way the
lawyers want it written.
:22:20
I said you know
this is news
:22:22
this is important.
:22:23
This is stuff
people wanted to know.
:22:25
And Ill never forget he
didnt pause a beat
:22:27
and he said
:22:29
we just paid three
billion dollars
:22:30
for these
television stations
:22:32
Well tell you what
the news is.
:22:35
The news is what
we say it is.
:22:38
I said Im not
doing that.
:22:40
and and he said
:22:41
Well he said if you refuse
to present this story
:22:43
the way we think it
should be presented
:22:45
youll be fired
for insubordination.
:22:47
I said I will go to the Federal
Communications Commissions
:22:50
and I will report that
I was fired from my job by you
:22:55
the licensee of these
public airwaves
:22:56
because I refused to lie
to people on the air.
:22:59
And it's thank you very much
youll hear from us right away.
:23:03
Well 24 hours came and went
and we didnt hear a thing.
:23:07
And about a week later
he calls us back
:23:08
and now weve
changed strategies.
:23:10
How about if we
pay you some money
:23:13
and you just go away?
:23:17
And I said
how much money?
:23:20
because when somebody
offers to bribe you like that
:23:22
I always want to know if
it might be worth it.
:23:24
He was going to offer us the
rest of our years salary
:23:28
if we agreed not to talk about
what Monsanto had done
:23:34
To not talk about the Fox
corporate response
:23:38
in suppressing the story.
:23:40
And to not talk
about the story.
:23:43
Not talk about B G H
again anywhere.
:23:47
Not take this story to
another new organization.
:23:49
Zip up.
:23:52
I said you mean if I want to go
to my daughter's PTA meetings
:23:54
and explain whats
in the school milk
:23:56
at the school lunch
program I cant?
:23:58
No you can never speak
about this anywhere.
