Fox News Airs Jane Harman 'Dirty Bomb' Segment and Follows with 'Big Fish' Story: The Fish Rots from the Head of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security on Iran, and Her Shares in Harman Intl

TORRANCE, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Fox News yesterday aired an interview of Jane Harman regarding her concerns of a "dirty bomb" threat, yet as the preeminent "conservative" news network, failed to corner Harman on the recent press statements concerning calls for Jane Harman to divest in Harman Intl shares as their wholly-owned company has business in Iran.

Fox News believed that the hardcore follow-up segment on security and the Jane Harman interview was a story relating to a World-Record Blue Catfish caught in the Missouri River and not Harman's silence on her financial ties to Iran business and the recent intel investigative report this week in The Washington Post.

Mattie Fein, Harman's opponent for the 36th district in California stated, "Jane Harman has participated in giving birth to 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies to work on counterterrorism or homeland security at a cost exceeding $75 billion annually. The flow of terrorist network money is tracked by 51 federal organizations and military commands. Analysts publish 50,000 intelligence reports annually. The utility of the work product has been described by Major General John M. Custer, director of intelligence at U.S. Central Command as follows: '[A]fter 4 1/2 years, this organization had never produced one shred of information that helped me prosecute three wars.' Fox News has a responsibility to question Harman on her shares relating to Iran and Harman Intl and the lack of intelligence reports to senior military commanders."

Harman is silent as to why the risk of a domestic radiation bomb is greater than the risk of companies providing goods to Iran with dual-use technology capabilities.

Fox News' softball interview should have hooked Jane Harman and shown that its time to "fish or cut bait" regarding her silence on the Iran issue and her shares in Harman Intl.
