Bomb Iran, says Fox

YouTube: Fox Attacks Iran

Robert Greenwald's new video exposes how Rupert Murdoch's FOX is beating the drums of war with Iran like it did before the Iraq war--using the same images and Bush talking points.

AN OPEN LETTER:

Dear ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN,

"My station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at FOX News."

That is CNN's Christiane Amanpour explaining why the major television networks failed to properly scrutinize the Bush Administration's claims before the Iraq war, choosing instead to follow FOX's lead in beating the drums of war.

Now, FOX is beating the drums of war with Iran. In 2003, FOX said "Al Qaeda is in Baghdad" and evidence of WMDs was "irrefutable." In 2007, they suggest Iran "is forging ties with Al Qaeda" and the evidence against Iran is "unequivocal."

FOX is a propaganda machine. But as a real news station, you have a sacred responsibility to dig to the bottom of stories and report the truth to the American people. Please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past by blindly following FOX down the road to war.

A petition follows here.

One of the problems as I see it is that Fox has more resources than the rest. So even though they replace news with opinion to save costs (real reporting costs a lot more than Sean Hannity), other networks have replaced news with fox's opinions.

Media ownership and anti-conglomerate laws were good things *sigh*

But why are you paying attention to Fox who is recognized as the most biased electronic media in the United States?

I pay attention to many things. Whatever comes into the focus of my attention, I comment it. There are many biased media anywhere, and I'm not sure Fox is the "most" biased but it surely deserves some commenting.
