Fiji Water Filters Into Fox, Cousteau

Our September/October 2009 Fiji Water expose had a big impact, and it’s still going strong. Today the story was tweeted by Fox News anchor Julie Banderas… and by Celine Cousteau, granddaughter of filmmaker Jacques Cousteau and daughter of oceanic explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau. Celine Cousteau travels the world on expeditions, and her family owns the Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort, an “Eco Friendly Resort” on the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji. I’m not sure if the Cousteau resort stocks Fiji Water, but it’s good to see the story strike close to Fiji Water’s home.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
