This is what I found out.
The biotech corporation, Monsanto, the same makers of Agent Orange, also developed a bovine growth hormone for dairy cattle which was both harmful to the cattle and the consumers who drank the milk. It caused the cattle unnecessary suffering and pain. Trace amounts of the growth hormone could be found in the milk produced by the cattle and when consumed by humans made them resistant to antibiotics. As if the after effects of Agent Orange weren't long lasting and devastating enough, Monsanto also found a way to harm milk-drinkers.
A reporter tried running a story on this--one which would expose Monsanto once again for being careless, but Monsanto intervened, writing Fox News President, Roger Ailes, and telling him not to air the story because it might hurt profits for the company, to which, of course, Roger Ailes, being a total dickhead, agreed.
So, in short, Fox News, aside from being corrupt and irresponsible in its "journalistic" practices, also supports the makers of Agent Orange.
Go figure.
