A Fox News Investigation

By Garrett on June 17, 2005 2:45 PM

FNClogo2.jpgOur cousin TVNewser has broken an “real reporting” exclusive: Fox News in New York is under federal investigation for OSHA violations, specifically that “production and technical personnel at Fox News Channel were exposed to diazinon, a neurotoxin class insecticide banned by the EPA for indoor use since the year 2000.”

The director of OSHA’s Manhattan office confirmed it to TVNewser’s Brian Stetler: “I just pulled the file, and we do have an open complaint against Fox News Channel,” he said. “The complaint was lodged on June 10.”

Now that CNN has blown the doors off of a series of suspicious fires in Ford vehicles as part of the world’s longest news segment on Wolf Blitzer Reports yesterday, does anyone doubt that a “special” on workplace insectide use is far behind?
