I saw a thing on Fox news a couple years ago by a reporter (i think her name was duie or something) where she participated in Front Site's free Uzi class...

I know the stories are all on Front Site's website, but, anyone know where to find some of those news stories?

That would have been Laurie Dhue.

When you go to Front Sight (not Front Site), they have a tape playing before they get started that has news clip after news clip from all over the country where reporters took their Uzi class. They had a policy that they would not agree to be interviewed, or allow a reporter to do a story about them unless the reporter took the class first. When I was there a couple weeks ago, there was a British reporter there to do a story about Front Sight (I guess, or it might have been about personal defense against violent crime in America ?). He was taking the SMG class.
One night we met him at Sherri's Ranch for dinner.

You might want to contact Front Sight and see if you can get a copy of that video they play at the beginning of their classes.

I am sure it is at least a half hour long and possibly as long as an hour. I don't know. I have been there twice. The first time I was there I kinda paid attention to it, the second time I igorned it as much as I could.
It is just on as kind of background noise or something to occupy your time while you are waiting on things to get started. I knew I would be waiting, so I brought a magazine with me.

DualB - some of those links at "in the news" are in fact videos. Look for ones from the TV stations. (e.g. KLAS - TV, or KXTV).

Here it is... http://www.a-10.org/video/ld/LaurieDhue_Frontsight.avi

10MB, about 7min in length, encoded with Divx. Resolution is only 160x120 to keep the size down.

I'm only going to keep this up a few days, so if someone would like to mirror it, I'd appreciate it.
