In 1997, Steve Wilson and Jane Akre were terminated by television station WTVT, a FOX affiliate. They filed suit, claiming the termination was due to their involvement in an investigative report criticizing Monsanto's use of rBGH, which the station did not air. Wilson and Akre claimed the station had engaged "news distortion" under pressure from Monsanto. WTVT later aired a similar report, which included responses from Monsanto. WTVT ultimately won the suit, and the plaintiff's claims were dismissed. WTVT won the case because Wilson and Akre did not have whistle-blower status. The reason they did not have whistle-blower status is because it is legal to report false news.
