Robert Duff McKeown, CM (/məˈkjuːən/ mə-KEW-ən; born October 10, 1950) is a Canadian investigative reporter and former all-star and championship football player.
[2] McKeown's work with Dateline includes coverage of the World Trade Center Attacks and the Oklahoma City bombing and investigations into hurricanes, tornados, great white sharks and pastor Benny Hinn (on whom he also did a Fifth Estate report).
McKeown was the first reporter to broadcast from the front lines during Operation Desert Storm and reached Kuwait City as Iraqi troops were fleeing, almost a day before allied forces arrived.
People Magazine wrote: "McKeown and his crew survived artillery, minefields and Iraqi snipers to get the best story of the Gulf War."
McKeown pointed out that trade between France and the United States actually went up since O'Reilly initialized the boycott and that the Paris Business Review does not even exist.
[5] In 1982, McKeown anchored a special Fifth Estate report about animal cruelty in Hollywood, focusing on the 1958 Walt Disney film White Wilderness as well as the television program Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
[7][8][9] In light of the findings for the report, McKeown asked Wild Kingdom host Marlin Perkins if he had deliberately injured or killed animals while making wildlife films.
