Conflicts of Media Business

Let me show you an example of a story not printed because of profits:
On Friday March 9, 2007, a unanimous Jackson County Missouri Jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Class, finding that American Family breached its insurance policy contract by paying for inferior quality Crash Parts and by failing to pay for certain necessary repair procedures. The jury awarded the Class nearly $17.4 million in compensatory damages. A copy of the verdict form is attached. On June 29, 2007, Judge Messina granted American Family's Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, overturning the jury's damages award in favor of the class. Plaintiffs are appealing the Order.

Did you ever read this story in the Concord/Oakville Call? No, one of their biggest advertisers is an American Family Insurance Agent.

If you'd like to protect your family, I'd suggest you "Go beyond the Call."
