Fox Business Network’s Gasparino says Morgan Stanley threatened him

Huffington Post reports that Fox Business Network reporter Charles Gasparino believes he received a death threat from a Morgan Stanley representative on Friday.

The post states, “Earlier in the day, he published an exclusive story about how James Gorman, the CEO of Morgan Stanley, called some analysts on Thursday to tell them that despite rumors, the bank is not overexposed to troubled European banks and, in the words of Gasparino, ‘imploding.’

“A public relations representative from Morgan Stanley, apparently unhappy with the article, called Gasparnio and left him a ‘nasty’ voicemail. Thinking she’d hung up, she said I’m going to kill him one of these days,’ according to Gasparino.

“He explained more during the 3:00 p.m. EDT hour of FBN, where colleague Liz Claman had a tough time keeping a straight face (clearly, she thought Gasparino was being just a tad dramatic).

“‘Morgan Stanley is not going to silence me with death threats,’ he said as Claman chuckled. ‘I was threatened today. It was a death threat issued by one of their PR people. And they will not silence me.'”
