Court Reverses Ruling on Jane Akre's rBGH Suit
Feb. 21, 2003
Accepting a defense rejected by three other Florida state judges on at least six separate motions, a Florida appeals court has reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information.
In a six-page written decision released February 14, the court essentially ruled the journalist never stated a valid whistle- blower claim because, they ruled, it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.

If Florida says it's okay to lie in the news, then it must be!
But then that state is filled with scam artists and thieves anyway.

If these are fakes, and it was somebody in the Bush administration, it won't matter that much. It seems that the people who follow Bush don't mind being lied to, when it's Bush doing the lying, of course.
