Murdoch's NGS Channel's Devastation of The Hutterites

A naive religious society is told that The National Geographic Society wants to do a documentary about them. What ensues, of course, is the Foxification of the project into a tabloid reality series.

Read the TRUE story in all it's glory with testimony directly from Murdoch's latest victims.

When is enough enough?

When will NGS take back it's name and reputation?

on the cable channel. I did NOT know that Fox owned it.

I've also been watching the Hutterite show and wonder how disruptive to their culture this program has been.

A typical production involves dozens of trucks, trailers, and many more crew, probably outnumbering the Hutterites themselves, who I think are 60 in number.

Damn.

Read the stories from Bertha and her family. Read the attempts they made to stop the travesty. Read how they tried to contact the producer who ignored their pleas. Read how he lied about them.

It is disgusting

I will no longer watch NG Channel nor will I support the NGS until they sever their ties with that snake Murdoch.

Edited for spelling

This colony has been involved in law suits in the past so they are not uneducated about the courts
