Fox News Picks up Newsbusters' G.I.Joe Story

On Thursday morning I got a phone call from Catherine Donaldson-Evans, a staff writer/reporter for Fox News, about our Newsbusters piece titled "Hollywood: G.I. Joe no Longer American Soldier But an 'International' Operative?"

She saw our report and it struck the interest of Fox News to the point that she wanted some further reaction from me on the subject for a piece she was writing. After a nice half-hour chat, she assured me that her story would soon appear on the Fox News main site.

True to her word, today appeared hers with the headline "G.I. Joe to Become Global Task Force in Movie."

Newsbusters is nicely identified in the 8th paragraph.

"I find it outrageous that they'd want to drop everything American" from the character, said conservative blogger Warner Todd Huston, who wrote about the rumors this week on Newsbusters.org and his own blog. "That's nuts."
