Would that fall under the catagory of predatory media practices?

Just wanted to let folks know that in Cinci last week and Cleveland this week, investigative tv news people have
cast an eye to the danger that farmers markets represent to America because customers could get dangerously
sick. At least in Cinci, they had to admit that there are no reported cases with the health department of anyone ever reporting a food borne illness that came from a farmers market. But they did "catch" a newer vendor who was selling
cheese from a cooler that was too warm at one market. Not sure if the reporter thought the vendor, market or health
department was responsible.
I'm sure other outlets will pick this up, especially if they see advertising potential.
Good Luck,
