Fox News
appealed the verdict.
:27:04
Five major news media
corporations filed briefs
:27:06
with the court in support
of Fox appeal.
:27:14
You may recall that Jane Akre
a former reporter here
:27:16
sued Fox 13 in
a whistleblower lawsuit
:27:19
claiming that
she was fired
:27:20
for refusing
to distort her report;
:27:23
the Appeals Court today
threw that case out
:27:25
saying Ms. Akre had
no whistleblower claim
:27:28
against the station
based on news distortion.
:27:30
Fox 13vice president and
general manager Bob Linger
:27:33
says the station
has been completely
:27:36
vindicated by the ruling...
:27:37
What Fox neglected
to report is this
:27:40
Jane sued Fox under Floridas
whistleblower statute
:27:43
which protects those who try
to prevent others
:27:46
from breaking the law.
:27:49
Buther Appeal Court judges
found that falsifying news
:27:52
isnt actually
against the law.
:27:54
So they denied Jane her
whistleblower stats
:27:57
overturned the case and
withdrew her $425000 award.
:28:04
Canada and Europe have
upheld the ban on RB G H.
:28:08
But it remains hidden
in the milk supply
:28:11
of the United States
:28:18
The prospect that two thirds
of the worlds population
:28:21
will have no access to fresh
drinking water by 2025
:28:25
has provoked
the initial confrontations
:28:26
in a world wide battle
:28:28
for control over the planets
most basic resource.
:28:33
When Bolivia sought
to refinance
:28:35
the public water services
of its third largest city
:28:37
the World Bank
required privatization
:28:42
which is how the Bechtel
Corporation of San Francisco
:28:45
gained control over all
of Cochabamba's water
:28:49
even that which
fell from the sky.
