They decided to do an investigative report on the bovine growth hormone in milk (rBST). Monsanto is the corporation, (multi-billion dollar corporation) that manufactured this hormone. (They are also the people that are responsible for all these genetically modified organisms (GMOs) found in our markets today....it's not "real" food). These people are extremely powerful people..they are also responsible for making seeds that have their insect repellent chemical right inside the seed... these seeds are designed to RUPTURE THE STOMACH of any insect feeding on it.....and, the farmers are required to purchase and grow them! If you never heard of Monsanto before, look them up....
Back to the reporters....They realized Monsanto made this growth hormone to inject into cows to make them produce more milk faster. Monsanto has in their panel of experts that are conducting the experiments and advising, university professors, experts in the field of nutrition, reporters and of course, the FDA. Monsanto makes sure everyone is "well paid for their time".
The trials using this growth hormone was a 90 day trial using 30 rats. The report concluded that all 30 rats had serious health implications including cancer, after being fed this milk with the bovine hormone in it. This happened in 90 days!! It was initially thought that the body would not absorb this hormone....well guess The report stated that rBST did not comply with safety requirements...it had extremely serious health implications resulting in cancer! The next thing you knew, Monsanto gets the federal government to slap their stamp of approval on this growth hormone that will now be injected into cows everywhere. How could this happen?? Well, either Monsanto "misinformed" the federal government, or they just did not read the report. Period.
Well, when the reporters had all their facts together and put together their first TV segment, the "powers that be" stepped in. When Monsanto got wind of this, they told Fox News if this segment aired, there would be "dire consequences" for Fox. Of course, Monsanto is a HUGE SPONSOR for many TV stations. This segment was suppose to air on a Monday, and this segment came to a halt on the Friday prior. The manager of the station wanted "changes" to be made in the report--they had lawyers re-write the segment and offered the reporters an unheard of amount of money to report things the way the lawyers wanted it to be reported.
The lawyers re-wrote the reporters story, taking out words such as "cancer" out and replacing it with health issues, and sent the reporters version after version after version to see if they would accept the changes and report this information. The versions were changed 83 times!!!
The reporters stated they absolutely WOULD NOT LIE about this mess they uncovered. In good conscious they could not...their children were drinking this toxic poison in their milk!! They realized the urgency of getting this information out in the public. Well, Fox wasn't going to let this happen....
The station came up with a contract that stated they would "pay" the reporters not talk to anyone about the information they had against Monsanto, which meant they couldn't go to another station with this information. So the reporters came up with another idea....they asked for the written copy of the "version" the lawyers wanted them to air and the lawyers did. The reporters told the lawyers they would, under no circumstances, report this information because it was blatant lies. The lawyers requested the material to be sent back to them and the reporters politely refused and took them to court.
To make a very long story short, the initial court case awarded the reporters $425,000 in damages. Of course, Fox appealed it. In the end, the conclusion of the trial was, "It's NOT AGAINST the law to falsify news stories"! Are you kidding me?
Once again, the money wins.....so this growth hormone is being injected into livestock, our children are drinking this toxic cocktail, and Monsanto is getting richer, and richer and richer....at the expense of our health. In Canada and Europe this bovine growth hormone is BANNED...it will never be used in their livestock so their people are protected....
I wonder what the Monsanto executives give their children to drink......
