I'll let this speak for itself.

Fox News Management Is "Keeping People In The Dark" About Insecticide Incidents, Tipsters Allege
Multiple Fox News employees have told TVNewser that their bosses are not being forthcoming with information about recent insesticide sprayings that allegedly led to the hospitalization of an employee. The anonymous tipster who first described how production and technical personnel at Fox News Channel were exposed to diazinon, a neurotoxin class insecticide banned by the EPA for indoor use, sent a follow-up message to TVNewser this morning.

"Management is attempting to keep this quiet by compartmentalizing the issue and keeping people in the dark. We are attempting to shed light on the situation for several reasons, one of which is that diazinon -- which disrupts the nervous and endocrine systems -- is highly suspect in one of the female producers here having a child with Down's Syndrome. That is a major liability that no company, however noble their corporate mission may be, should be allowed to cover up and escape the liability for."

The tipster suggests that as the old adage says, the coverup is worse than the crime. The employee says that firing the managers who "knew about the ongoing use of illegal pesticides and not only did not inform dedicated employees of the risk, but were also extremely callous about employees' subsequent health problems," would be a good step towards accountability.

.... more....

7. DeLay represents the true face of these neocons...
Totally illogical inbred hate-tantrum throwing 10 year olds, so convinced they speak for god that they speak for the devil instead.

:crazy: :banghead: :crazy:

8. How long before they pass the Faux News Protection legislation?
You know, that law that would hold them exempt for anything and everything they do that is wrong. I see a new repug star legislator in the wings.

9. Fox misleads both their audience and their employees.
"Attempting to keep this quiet by compartmentalizing the issue and keeping people in the dark" works whether you're talking to your audience about nonexistent WMDs or your employees about existent pesticides.

Fox lies no matter what.
