I remember very clearly the daily fearmongering led by FOX as they cheered for war with Iraq. The 24/7 images, sound effects, yelling and threatening were an ever-present drumbeat for war. We had to invade, and we had to invade now.. anyone who didn't see that was a traitor. They viciously attacked those of us who worked to get out the truth.
You'd think that with the complete failure in Iraq, those days would be behind us. Sadly, you'd be wrong.
FOX wants war with Iran.
It's almost too ridiculous to believe, but it's shockingly real. We've already compiled over 4 hours of FOX footage… the same images, sound effects, yelling and threatening that led the U.S. to invade Iraq is happening right now to sell a war with Iran. They are saying the exact same things!!
Here is the video evidence, side-by-side with what they said about Iraq.
This time is different though. We're prepared, and we have the means to alert people to what FOX is doing. Everyone has seen the terrible tragedy and the awful price paid by so many Iraqis and Americans. We know this is coming, and we can stop it.
It was about this time in the lead-up to the Iraq war when the other TV networks started following FOX's lead. As CNN's Christiane Amanpour says in the video, they were intimidated by FOX into cheerleading for the Iraq war.
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.
This is a critical moment, and we must send a message to the major television networks urging them to ask tough questions, be skeptical, and tell us what is really happening. They must not follow FOX down the road to another war.
We've put together an open letter to the networks. Will you sign it?
Please pssst the video and forward it to everyone you know. We must raise our voices now. This is so important, we cannot let history repeat itself.
P.S. Here are some recent articles on the Iran issue:
- "Cheney pushes Bush to act on Iran" (Guardian)
- "Prelude to an attack on Iran" (Bob Baer, Time)
- Bush admin labels Iran's 125k Revolutionary Guard troops "terrorists" (New York Times)
I have a few problems with Palma’s comments. If you care at all about global human rights, then you cannot claim “They (Middle-Eastern countries) had a well balanced way of living well before Christianity started. There where lots of rules that appear to be harsh but that contributed to who they where as Muslims.” Please read the comments of Shahab Derhami about a month ago. If EXECUTING GAY PEOPLE for being gay and MURDERING WOMEN for the crime being raped or not dressing a certain way contributes to who they are as Muslims, then we have a serious problem. Wait… aren’t the Democrats and leftists in America supposed to be the pro-gay, pro-women side?
There is a prevalent perception that an invisible omnipotent group of super beings known as the wealthy elite controls the world and sets up wars in their favor. It is true that war profiteers exist, and they are certainly the main cause for obviously self-serving and otherwise worthless or harmful wars like Vietnam and Iraq. We must oppose these people who are doing so much harm to the fighting of real problems. But let’s not forget that real problems exist, and they are not just made up by these war profiteers in order to go to war. Iran is a real problem, Islamism is a human rights problem. It’s not Islamic traditions that are a problem, it’s the government forcing of those traditions under penalty of death. I can’t believe leftists want to turn their backs on women and gays and anyone who isn’t a devout male Muslim in those countries under the pretense of respecting other people’s culture.
Nevermind internal human rights, what about Iran’s government being a religious mafia of Palestinian terrorists? Thanks to Mr. Derhami for pointing that out. Iran is not some poor country being bullied around by Western powers that have all the money in the world. Iran has a huge army and powerful backers and they must be stopped.
And here’s where the problem with Fox News lies (no pun intended). They are at the mercy of the war profiteers who will not help, but hurt the opposition of Iran. Fox News, and the country it stands for, must not be allowed to lead this fight at this time. The only way America (a powerful country that would be very useful if used correctly) can be trusted to fight against Iran is if it had different leadership, with pure goals and the oversight and help of the international community. This means Bush and anyone on the bankroll of war profiteers must not be elected.
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988 bowing to pressure from the right: “Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine” which allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to exist. 92% of radio talk show hosts are right wing persuasion. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process.
So let me see if I’ve got this straight: if the “Fairness” Doctrine hadn’t been abolished, things would be more “fair” by denying freedom of speech to the party you oppose?

This nation has become the FOURTH REICH of NAZI FASCISM groomed by the “Skull and Bones” fraternity at Yale and other CRIMINAL ELEMENTS FEASTING OFF CADAVERS OF WAR. They are mutations for demon-ocracy (NOT MISPELLED, DELIBERTLY COINED FOR WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME) that enshrouds the incapacitated minds of dumbdowned ignorant American society.
Hitler and his whole nazi empire reigns in Washington DC. THEY ARE ALL TRAITORS AND ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER. They are the fraternity of warmongerers and parasites murdering your sons and daughters and destroying everything our founding fathers gave us.
Goering was right “tell the people lies, enough times and they will believe them” All of these “Skull and Bones men” (Joseph Lieberman, The Bush family, John Kerry group, etc) are parasites that have infected the minds of those too ignorant to see what is happening to this country.
Hitler himself said: “democracy can’t be destroyed from the outside, but, can only be destroyed from the inside” Well, welcome to the NEW FOURTH REICH OF NAZI FASCISM in AMERICA, You people did it all through your own opprobrious ignorance, selfish greed and lust for viiolence.
We don’t have any enemies. What once were our friends do. We are their enemy.
FOX NEWS AND THE REST OF THE NAZI PROPAGANDA MACHINE CALLED THE MEDIA and THE REICHSTAG OF THE SS IN WASHINGTON DC, IS HELPING YOU TO BE WORLD CONQUERERS AND YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR YOU AND YOUR GREED AND LUST FOR FASCISM.
Congratulations, you have sold your freedom for a bowl of “lentil stew”, and have raised a flag with a “swastika” over America. Your god is SATAN THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS. AMERICA HAS BECOME GLOBAL MURDERERS AND HAS SUNK TO THE LOWEST PITS OF DEBAUCHERY THROUGH HYPOCRISY AND LAWLESSNESS.

Actually it always has been, it is just the media that makes it look like a sheep, volfey.
That, and snippet, two second, sound bites that have become the extent of our attention span, in and out of our educational institutions.
I like german women, so who am I to complain.
We live in a state of corporate fascism, treating this planet as business in liquidation, exhausting its resources and destroying its environment. Man is but one species amongst billions of other species on this planet. No one gave man dominion on this planet except man himself. How egotistic has he become?! Nature’s god is angry at us. Shame —Shame…
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988, bowing to pressure from the right, by abolishing the “Fairness Doctrine”. The fairness doctrine was the law of the land since 1932. Abolishing the fairness doctrine allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts now are right wingers.

I hear you Volfey. At least the Germans don’t name fighter jets after the their womens armpits. You know like “Harrier” jets or after their dogfight “bitches” that bury their sons and daughters “bones” in military cemetarys because the street corners are getting over crowded with their “Enola Gays” !!! Darn I hope the world wakes up and see where these “pukes” come from.
“YALE” UNIVERSITY “SKULL AND BONESMAN”. A real breeding ground for the parasites of inhumanity.
A Harrier has nothing to do with your wife’s armpit.

Yes, yes! What a wonderful endeavor. By all means, American, invade Iran. In case you need more compelling reasons with which to justify said invasion, simply read:
1) Iranians think Americans suck
2) Iran is also thinking about building the world’s tallest Ferris Wheel
3) Iranian women make apple pie better than American women
4) Ahmadinejad struts around like he owns the place
5) So WE can get back to building a nuclear weapon
Please, America. I implore you. Take your troops from Iraq and invade Iran. We can’t take any more.
Talabani
Better check again. I’m not married. Yet another mistake I’ve wisely avoided so far. You should be more careful. If it’s not your wife, and it’s definitely not mine, then you’re not really sure who you’re sleeping with! You might want to get checked out at the local free clinic. Don’t make the mistake of waiting for Hillary’s national health care plan. You could die of an STD before that happens!
Sorry specwar,
I was wrong again, but, I am humbled. It must have been your mother, since no democrat would have an illegitimate son and you don’t know who your daddy is, maybe your conservative arrogance is from the “condoms” found in the Bush adminstration. DNA testing will reveal your daddy for you.
Stop “The Project For A New America Group”, this information has been around since June of 1997.
Thanks,
I will circulate this to everyone I know. Fox News is conspiring with the Bush administration to lead us into another sham of a war.
Wow! Fox News is becoming more and more like ‘The Onion’.
L64191911B,
You’re wrong yet again, but what else should I expect from a Democrap? You must be doing your own mother instead of screwing her by taking more taxes from her. As for Democrats not having illegitimate children, that’s laughable! Your party is the one that denigrates marriage and distributes condoms in schools so the little tykes can learn about sex as early as possible. As for arrogance, you must be confusing that with the truth. I know it’s painful to be shown the truth while you’re wearing your blinders and closing your eyes so tight, but we’re hoping you will someday wake up and see the light. I’m not holding my breath for that, though.
“I used to be a liberal, then I grew up.”
–P.J. O’Rourke
For the the first time you are wrong spermhead. If it weren’t for republicans and democrats like you going around looking in trash bins to find used condoms to kiss, in hopes of kissing your mom and dad at the same time, the world wouldn’t be in the mess its in. Spermhead, keep the faith, your mother is almost done screwing the pack. Check out your local trash can, you probably are sleeping with the bitch as you are typing.
L64191911B,
Kissing used condoms? So that’s what you do in your spare time, when you’re not displaying your political ignorance. I’ll bet you haven’t had pussy since pussy had you. You really should try to get out of your parent’s basement more often. I’ve done more to make the world a safer place for morons like you than you’ll ever do in your entire lifetime! Go back to your comic books and porn mags and quit embarrassing yourself online.
Wrong SpecWar, the only one embarrassing himself online is you. We all know that even the retarded son of a hydrocephalic couple with the down syndrome could distinguish between a lie and a fact better than one of you rednecks (republicans). So why don’t you go marry your own sister and leave politics to the smart people?
Prior to this forum sounding like a bar, I must say;
that L64191911B made some very valid points about the state of the USA today.
Stop the bickering boys…
Will the release of the US intelligence report, advising that Iran stopped its nuclear weapons program four years ago, halt the warmongering rhetoric of FOX (and the Bush administration)?
Or will they (IMHO a more likely outcome) simply play it down and come up with another ludicrous reason to start another disastrous war?
Fox needs to be downright boycotted and absolutely shut down. We need to support and send letters, just encourage the other news networks to not follow in Fox’s steps. They’re a bunch of biased professional idiots. – Thx Marilyn
The only reason liberals like you make excuses for Iran is because you hate Jews and support Holocaust deniers.
I love the people who comment, “If you don’t support bombing Iran you support the Holocaust!” That’s quite the non sequitur. Yes, the fact that I don’t want thousands more civilians carpet bombed for some PNAC pipe dream means that I support unrelated incidents that also killed innocent civilians. Curious logic, that.
This is what happens when you watch too much Fox News. You mistake loud, irrational, emotionally charged temper tantrums as reasoned discourse.
America is a country with only to political parties with similar thoughts and ideas… that’s pretty close to a single party – like Iran, former Iraq, North Korea, Mosambique, Cuba and other.
Im from London and I see fox news over here and can clearly see that the channel is extremely biased, hypocritical and constantly serves right wing propaganda. I did not support the Iraq war because there was no evidence that Iraq had WMD. Iraq was doing everything possible to cooperate with the UN, Hans Blix described the cooperation as pro-active just a few weeks before the war broke out. However, we must not make a mistake with Iran, there is alot of evidence to suggest that they are developing Nuclear Weapons, they have abundant natural resources, yet they are enriching uranium on a mass scale, they refuse to answer many question about their nuclear programme and the leaders are making alot of suspicious noises and threats to other countries. Also, it is no myth that Iran is a supporter of terror, they openly admit to it. All I want to say is, yes Iraq was an almighty cock up, however this does not mean we should turn a blind eye to Iran because I strongly believe that they could be a serious threat to world peace.
Being a CEO one would think I should (or as FOX) states, I should be pandering to the right? This is exactly what FOX does. The distort and spin people into believing Democrats will tax the rich and be weak on the war.
The war is something I as a CEO worry about because it is killing business as people worry about or face the real prospect of a Republican getting in office and implementing a draft.
The right wing core running are head hunters and will keep this country at war forever. Except Ron Paul who wants to police the middle east.
I have to kids and will not subject them to war.
Think about this… If the GOP loses this election, FOX will be out of business folks. Access to the White House will be denied. Guests from the new administration would boycott them. The would basically be forced to go back to journalisim.
No matter who wins on the democratic side, if Hillary would win and select Obama to be her vice president, they would win out easily and Fox knows this, and so does the GOP.
Sorry for the vent guys, but I wanna thank Foxattacks for the hard work they put in and do for the people. You guys exposed Fox and please keep it up.

iran has long history.
i as an iranian hate your goverment because they ignore our vots to our goverment.
we are not terorrist but you say we are.
here we have safe society here having gun is forbidden but you …….
we respect american people but not your goverment shame on them
you american people you must judje and dont let your governers judje and decide instead of you.
you must look at IRAQ condition and judje about your goverment.
Since when did a media corporation become a sentient — and, I might add — malevolent entity?
Way down there at Rocky Lore: Iranians, though they live in the Middle East, are not entirely Jewish, nor predominantly so. Although I have many Jewish friends, and I do not consider myself anti-Semitic in the least, I question your reasoning.
Besides that, there are worse things than Holocaust DENIERS. Have you heard of neo-naziism? It is growing in America. This ENDORSES the Holocaust.
Not only are your facts wrong, your attack is wrong.
Just thought I’d let you know. ^_^
I think intellectual Americans need to connect and to unite against what is driving their country to a head on confrontation with the Islamic world . Its not only Iran its the whole Islamic world that is now totally opposing US policy in this region. There are some interesting websites that could help us get an inside picture of Iran which I think is very essential. http://www.ebtekarm.blogspot.com

Is it that they want war, or the prospect of war is easy sensationalism.
Scaring the crap out of people = good ratings.
Here's all the proof you need that foxnoise is really the minister of propaganda for the gop. And for all the nonsense of the “liberal media”, I'd like to see ONE instance from ANY network news channel, whether it'd be ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, or fox (yeah, right) where they WEREN'T pounding the drums of war for Iraq; for that, you had to watch the BBC or some other international news outlet (the ones that weren't being controlled by rupert murdock, that is).
It's time for the REAL news networks to grow some cajones and do some actual reporting, and not recycle pro-war propaganda. Who knows how lives that would've been saved, Americans and Iraqis from President Bush's war.
As far as I'm concerned they ALL have blood on their hands!

Nice theophobic (look it up) statement “amaeican”. In nine months since he took office. President Obama hasn't converted back to “islame” (Islam is the correct spelling). BTW, “mohamid” should be Mohammed, “profit” should be prophet. Here's great proof that foxnoise dumbs down their audience.
And how about the last eight years where “unbiased” foxnoise kissed bush and cheney's ass?

Good job! You made your statement a fact by writing 'Fact' beforehand. Actually, I'm pretty sure that's how scientists state their statistical figures because if they didn't state that is was a fact no one would believe them. Here, let me try: FACT: you are a bigot.
