Kind of a leap there, Jeff- but you're right as far as I can tell. Lots of leftist fringe media reports on it, but nothing that I could find at the mainstream sites, including Fox. I cannot believe this kind of crap is still going on.

I know it is kind of a leap to suggest any connection to Clinton....and I really don't think that the media is not reporting this because Clinton was good friends with their CEO. It does puzzle me though as to why it isn't being reported. They too busy trying to dig up stuff on US Soldiers and make up things about NOLA? Too busy following the latest missing person case? Too busy taking quotes of radio talk show interviews out of context?

This story "broke" in the liberal/alternative press over two weeks ago...you would think that at least MSNBC would have picked it up by now.............I know they would have if it had been Haliburton with the segragated bathrooms.

Actually, I found some articles on it going back to August, and you are right- this is a story that deserves strong attention, especially with Tyson Foods track record. They went after Denny's and Cracker Barrel, which ultimately persuaded them to make changes for the better, so why not this?

Well, I am not too savvy when it comes to looking things up in the liberal press. :D


Which brings up another thing that bothers me about this.....no reporting of it in the Conservative Press either :(

Probably because its about Tyson foods, which is a big corporation, which is a friend of the repubs... ;) ;)

Actually they were one of the Democratic National Commitees biggest donors over the last 10 years and their CEO is a very good friend of Bill Clintons.

Well, according to this article, they favor the Republicans more.

"
Some 65 percent of Tyson Foods donations went to Republicans in 2003 and 2004, according to federal records."
