What Ailes reporters

Roger Ailes was said to be unhappy last week that his Fox News was the only major network that did not participate in the documentary, "Journalists: Killed in the Line of Duty."

Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Anderson Cooper, Christiane Amanpour, Walter Cronkite and other major anchors and correspondents narrated segments of the film, which tells the story of reporters like Daniel Pearl, David Bloom, and Reuters' Taras Protsyuk, who was killed by a U.S. tank shell in Baghdad.

Ailes' spokesman Robert Zimmerman denied that the news director was upset. "He was asked to participate and declined," Zimmerman said.

Camera Planet CEO Steven Rosenbaum directed the film, to air on Trio Nov. 25. He was inspired after attending a Committee to Protect Journalists dinner and hearing of reporters tortured and killed for their work. "If anybody threatened my life or my children's life, I might go sell shoes," Rosenbaum said.
