:23:03
Well 24 hours came and went
and we didnt hear a thing.
:23:07
And about a week later
he calls us back
:23:08
and now weve
changed strategies.
:23:10
How about if we
pay you some money
:23:13
and you just go away?
:23:17
And I said
how much money?
:23:20
because when somebody
offers to bribe you like that
:23:22
I always want to know if
it might be worth it.
:23:24
He was going to offer us the
rest of our years salary
:23:28
if we agreed not to talk about
what Monsanto had done
:23:34
To not talk about the Fox
corporate response
:23:38
in suppressing the story.
:23:40
And to not talk
about the story.
:23:43
Not talk about B G H
again anywhere.
:23:47
Not take this story to
another new organization.
:23:49
Zip up.
:23:52
I said you mean if I want to go
to my daughter's PTA meetings
:23:54
and explain whats
in the school milk
:23:56
at the school lunch
program I cant?
:23:58
No you can never speak
about this anywhere.
:24:01
Steve says
okay write it up.
:24:04
And Im like what are you
talking about write it up?
:24:07
And I didnt say anything.
:24:10
And Dave he wrote it
up and he FedEx it to us
:24:14
a couple of days later.
:24:16
And he said
are you going to sign?
:24:19
And we said nah Dave
we're not going to sign that.
:24:23
And he said well
send it back okay?
:24:25
We said no Dave were
not going to send that back.
:24:27
It was okay we
cant buy you out
:24:31
we cant shut you up
:24:32
lets get the story on the air
in a way that we can all agree
:24:35
it will go on the air.
:24:36
And we started rewriting and
editing with their lawyers.
:24:40
During this eight month
re-review process
:24:42
I say jokingly they did things
like for example they wanted
:24:46
to take out
the word cancer.
:24:48
You dont have to identify
what the potential problem is
:24:52
just say human
health implications.
:24:55
Any criticism
of Monsanto or its product
:24:58
they either removed
it or minimized it.
