Nor outside of the Fox News Network does any media outlet seem to care. Fox's William La Jeunesse owns the beat and has scooped all the other networks time and time again on these stories. If he doesn't win an Emmy it will be because of environmentalist criticism of the stories selection but not of the accuracy of the accounts.

From "FOX News Bios":

William La Jeunesse joined FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Los Angeles bureau as a reporter in March of 1998, where he also contributes reports for FOX News Edge, the network’s affiliate news service.

Prior to joining FNC, La Jeunesse spent three years as an investigative reporter for KTVK-TV (IND) in Phoenix, Arizona and before that served in the same capacity at KNSD-TV (NBC) in San Diego, where he won two Golden Microphone Awards and an EMMY Award, and KTSP-TV in Phoenix, where he received five local EMMY Awards.

A graduate of Syracuse University, La Jeunesse began his journalism career at the Arizona Republic, where he spent five years writing investigative pieces for the daily. He was named the Arizona Press Club Journalist of the Year in 1989 and the UPI Western Region Journalist of the Year in 1987 and 1989.

I rarely watch TV (even FOX!) - so I do not know this guy. Is anybody out there familiar with his work?

Well, investigators from two federal agencies are trying to find out
One of the questions they're asking is this. Did a policy to protect fish endanger firemen?

District Ranger John Newcom says, "We have Chinook Salmon, we have Steelhead, we have Bull trout, um all three of those species are in the Chewuch and they all are a consideration as we fight fire.

William La Jeuness: "A consideration but not an obstacle insists Ranger John Newcomb. But two veteran fighfighters with intimate knowledge of this fire and the river that ran through it tell a different story...
