FOX Attacks Obama, part 2

No surprise that FOX has been at it again: smearing, distorting, attacking Obama.  What is infuriating and requires IMMEDIATE ACTION is that so many in the media have been catching the FOX virus and spreading it.  By way of a cure, we bring you the next installment in our highly successful FOX Attacks! series.  Together, we have battled them effectively, halted their fake debates, and put pressure on Bill O'Reilly for on his attacks on homeless vets.  And so far, over 6 million people have seen our FOX Attacks!

A special thanks to all of you who contributed to the tickers for this film!  Your contributions made this video possible.  You turned this into a collaborative filmmaking process, declaring our collective outrage over FOX's propaganda. If you didn't get the chance to contribute this time around, you can put your message to Murdoch in the next FOX Attacks! film for a contribution of $199.  Space is very limited though, we can only include 25 messages.

Of course, Obama isn't the only Democratic nominee that FOX and their ilk have gone after in this Presidential race. Chris Matthews, once a Roger Ailes hire, has been demonizing Hillary Clinton every chance he gets.  Our friends at Media Matters have more on how Matthews is modeling himself after Bill O'Reilly.  With your support we can and will continue the fight.

PETITION DELIVERY UPDATE:  Watch as speakers from MoveOn.Org and FAIR explain why traditional media should not parrot FOX, followed by the petition delivery by members and supporters of Brave New Films and MoveOn.Org at NBC headquarters in NYC.

    Fox News sold you Bush and you bought it. Look what has happened to our country. Fox News preys on the ignorant voters in this country. Research proves they are lying.

    I will not vote for anymore assholes. Bush is an absolute imbecile. Crawford, Texas will get their village idiot back in January 09.

  2. larry davis says:

    Obama is a radical. Fox is actually going light on him and the rest of the media is in the tank for Obama. This is the same guy that says he dislikes white people and will support the Muslims if the necessary. He made both of these statements in his book. Remember Fox was just voted the most balanced news media in the USA.

  3. phatbastard says:

    What a group of hateful commenter’s…. Look in the mirror folks…YOU are the reason this contry is going to hell!

  5. James Gooch says:

    Fox is not a real new network it is just a gossip and mongering network. It is just despicable the things they do and stand for.
    It does not stand for anything decent and honorable. It should be taken off of the air. They must be stopped from demonizing honorable people.

  6. Joseph Abate says:

    Fox news is the only way President Obma is going to be able to show the american people that he really stands for change and remain cool under pressure.He did it with Hill and now he has senator Insane to deal with. What does not kill you makes you stronger!!

  7. smizzy says:

    joe idiots like you is why this country is in the situation we are in. I thought this was america, so what if he was a muslim. if you think he is a nigger just be man enough to say it don’t hide behind that muslim shit. people like you just shows how bad our education is in this country.

  8. smizzy says:

    to all yaw talking about obamas pastor explain to me what was cheneys last job explore those connections. so why are we at war again?

  9. concerned citizen says:

    I have looked at FOX News for many years and had never heard such racism. You have tried in your lillie white world to destroy such great persons as Martin Luther King. I can recall your calling him a communist spy. After all these years it is unbelievable that you can utter such ignorance about a man. Why get upset with Imus when you are no different. Dont be afraid of what you dont know be prepared to embrace the different.
    It is sad to know that you are educated caucasians. You still live in the world of your racist ancestors.

  10. DidUDoSomething? says:

    Man whats wrong with these people??
    How can you compare anyone to Hilter?
    thats the ultimate insult.

  11. Matt Judkin says:

    Obama’s whiny wife, Michelle, says that her husband’s election as president would be the first reason to have “pride” in America, and complains that this country is “downright mean” and that she’s having difficulty finding money for their daughters’ piano lessons and summer camp. Between them, Mr. and Mrs. Obama earn $480,000 a year (not including book royalties from “The Audacity Of Hype,” but they’re whining about how tough they have it to couples who earn 48 grand – or less. Yes, we can. But not on a lousy half-million bucks a year.
    Hope is over!! Obama is done!!!

  12. Anonymous says:

    Its very obivious to me that this country is still living in racisim! Look at the color of all of the individuals who are making comments about Obama…The majority of them are all WHITE! If the color of Obama’s skin was white, white people would not be attacking him the way that they are! It’s extremely sad and appauling that people are so ignorant and jealous of the black race. We are unique! We are different! We are blessed! We will rise! We will make history that cannot be repeated! Fox channel needs to go to hell!

  13. Stacy says:

    THIS IS THE TRUTH! IT WILL SET YOU FREE! FOX IS RIGHT ABOUT OBAMA!

  14. High profile politicians, including Barack Obama, are seeking to limit the American peoples’ access to on-demand, short term financial assistance. Some cities and towns are trying to impose restrictions on where these legitimate businesses can set up shop. Even worse, several states, including Georgia and North Carolina, have successfully imposed all-out bans on the industry, with several more attempting to follow suit. Citizens all across the nation are seeking to have their voices heard by fighting legislation that would obliterate the payday loan industry nationwide; Obama, and other misinformed political officials, are pushing for a complete ban in the name of personal political gain, regardless of the hundreds of thousands of potential lost jobs in an already turbulent economy.

  15. America and Capitalism are both based on the freedom of choice. We as Americans and Capitalists should have the financial freedom to choose how we use our money, and we should be able to choose where we get a loan. The fact that certain states are banning a financial resource such as the payday loan industry is ridiculous. These states are taking away the availability of a loan to those who need money quickly, who don’t have the credit to attain one from a bank, who only need a few hundred dollars loaned instead of thousands. Don’t let the legislation take away your financial freedom and vote for your rights as an American citizen.

  16. Limbaughsux says:

    God what a bunch of idiots you neo-nazi-cons are!How can you show your faces in public? Backing two complete idiots like McCain and Palin. Have you listened to them? Have you seen the backpeddling flip flops McCain does every day? No wonder they have tried to hide Palin. She is totally worthless. McCain tried his best to dodge the debate with Obama tonight because he is chicken *hit. Who can blame him. He knows he isn’t right for the job.

  17. Payday loan customers applaud the payday loan industry mainly because, when used properly, they are the fastest and safest way to get out of an unexpected financial fallback. An old saying asks the question, “If something isn’t broken, than why fix it?” This is a perfect question to direct to many politicians who are attempting to or have outlawed the entire industry in many states. Of course, many people who are living beyond financial wealth would agree with this action and bond to fix something that isn’t broken. They have even inspired presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, to join their inexplicable motion. On November 4, vote for the peoples’ right to financial freedom and independence.

  18. The short term financial assistance that payday lenders offer, often are one of the fastest and safest ways out of a sticky financial situation if used responsibly. Unfortunately, people of somewhat political importance don’t see it this way, probably because they have never been in a situation that would require a little help from the payday loan industry. These bipartisan efforts to outlaw the entire industry just go to show how detached they are from real Americans. Get educated on the facts today and exercise your right to financial freedom on November 4th.

  19. The payday loan industry has been the prime target for corrupt politicians, from all sides, seeking an increase in voter support at the expense of what’s best for their citizens. Governors of several states including, Georgia, North Carolina, and Oregon completely drove payday loan companies out of their states. The negative effects of driving out payday loan companies from these states, appears to have not been what was best for its’ citizens. For instance, in Georgia, the bankruptcy filings, bounced checks and foreclosures all skyrocketed after the cash advance product was done away with. In spite of these negative statistics, following the closure of payday loans in these states, several other governors continue to try and follow suit. Top national politicians, such as presidential hopeful Barack Obama, are now stepping into the arena in hopes of wiping the industry completely off the map. Should such efforts deem successful, the possibility is very real for increased unemployment rates, more debt, more foreclosures and an even more crippled economy.

    So far Obama’s baulked making

    –AND NOW –

    Latest reports from The Guardian
    Brit. news –

    The PRC now has NOT ONLY the abillity
    to monitor online traffic throughout
    the world but also –

    -the capacity to not only monitor
    -but intercept -disrupt and interfere
    with even our military’s operations.

    Most strange is –

    the fact that one has to go to the
    British press to learn these things.

    Now, who’s behind this obvious and
    ongoing cover-up? -The PC PRC suck-ups?
    -or the ‘con-job’ biz nihilist ‘Right’?

    Keep buyin’ into them donuts folks.

    And once again Obama baulks
    a definitive hurl of Chicago

    Tammany-dom has been going on
    for at least a century now
    and everyone -my$$$teriously-
    too squeamish to go after it?

    Sorry –

    Obama better find the ability
    to put down ‘talk show’ popularity
    and act swiftly, decisively and
    unflinchingly or –

    his stature -indeed his very credibility
    won’t see the crocuses this Spring.

    NOT lookin’ good—

    Rev. Wright -Bill Ayers -Tony Rezco

    just across our Mexican border –

    aside for a moment –

    DID YOU KNOW? –

    -though Joe Biden makes well over three
    times the Palin family income –

    he donates time and money at a fraction
    of her level? –

    or that Obama himself has a half-brother
    apparently left to live in dire poverty
    back in Africa?

    (SEE ther Thomas Sowell interview

    Can you be a ‘Man of the People’

  29. [...] we’ve seen from Fox over the last few years, but for a sampler, check out Fox Attacks Obama, Fox Attacks Obama 2, Fox Attacks Michelle Obama, and Fox Attacks Black [...]

  30. no, they are watching fox news because they believe the far right propaganda and love to hear what the likes of hate filled morons like hannity and oreilly have to say.

  31. pagan says:

    Fox believes that they have every reason to lie and spin news because they think every other news station is doing it.They think their lies “balance” things out.but they also must be aware that on days that there is little “liberal spin and lies” that their lies push the reporting to the right. which they are fine with.
    But if everyone was saying such wonderful things about obama, where does this channel get the clips of the “liberal” staitons bashing him that they just showed? if fox is bashing him, and other news orgs are following fox's lead then fox no longer needs to “balance anything out!! they can stop their lying! horray!!

    but this is also the news organization that said it should be treasonous to speak ill of a president during wartime for the past 8 years. yet bash obama for everything.

  32. docwillis says:

    “Obama’s whiny wife, Michelle, says that her husband's election as president would be the first reason to have “pride” in America, and complains that this country is “downright mean” and that she's having difficulty finding money for their daughters' piano lessons and summer camp.”

    And your source is…
    Probably Fox News. Typical.

    “Between them, Mr. and Mrs. Obama earn $480,000 a year (not including book royalties from “The Audacity Of Hype,” but they're whining about how tough they have it to couples who earn 48 grand – or less.”

    Wow. I'm shocked. Sounds like something Hannity would say.

    “Yes, we can. But not on a lousy half-million bucks a year.
    Hope is over!! Obama is done!!!”

    Next time you post Matt, how about typing something with substance. Seriously.

  33. docwillis says:

    “THIS IS THE TRUTH! IT WILL SET YOU FREE! FOX IS RIGHT ABOUT OBAMA!”

    Just because you type in caps doesn't mean it's “truth”.

  34. docwillis says:

    “Obama is a great speaker. Man he really is. But, that will only take you so far. He has got no real statistics of really doing anything. 18 months as a junior senator from Illinois.”

    And Sarah Palin couldn't even finish ONE TERM as governor!

    “McCain is a man with statistics and support from both parties. McCain is known as a man of integrity and honor. Both parties know this and he has proven statistics of being a maverick and not going with the establishment of his own party (I like that ).”

    If he'd only RAN that way instead of introducing bozos like “Joe the unlicensed plumber” on his stump tour, we might've had a President McCain.

    “Because of this he will pull a HUGE chunk of the Independents and will in fact draw blue dog democrats.”

    If only he hadn't had Sarah Palin on the ticket…

    “The right wingers like Rush and Hannity etc attacking him as not a conservative will only help McCain more!!”

    Yeah, that really helped McCain a lot.

    “Obama can raise money too boy, but that doesn't win elections, just look at Romney!!”

    Just look at Hillary Clinton.

    “In the end it will be McCain as our next president.”

    Sorry, Charlie. Looks like you got it in the end!

  35. Johnny Ioanidis says:

    I agree. Name one “news network” that favors Palestine.

    I'm wating…

  36. goof says:

    dint you git tierd of repeting yorself

  37. docwillis says:

    “You nut job Liberals!!”

    I'm NOT a liberal, smear merchant.

    “Fox is the ONLY yes ONLY fair and 100% balanced news station.”

    Another useless claim from the Fox parrots.

    “The media has been controlled for years by the lefties i.e CNN, Time, MSNBC, New York times…”

    You need to up your meds, Matt i.e. RIGHT NOW!

    “The liberls have had a monopoly for years on the news… sorry cry babies… americans are watching Fox because YES they are sick and tired of biased left wing news stations!!!”

    Another senseless post from a brain-washed neocon YET AGAIN!

  38. docwillis says:

    “Amazing how many non-conservatives watch Fox News Channel. They have about twice the audience of CNN on any given evening time slot, and their morning program is nearly as popular as the broadcast network shows.

    Yep, it's a virus, infecting our weak minds. They need to be shut down. I imagine either Hillary or Barack will do the job for us.

    We need more government control over what we see. Make sure a strong socialist gets into power to stop this evil now.

    Censor Fox News! Our minds cannot be trusted to view their non-socialist content!”

    And what's even more amazing is how many neo-cons do interviews ONLY at Fox!

    What are neo-cons afraid of?

    Also, one year into Obama's presidency and Fox Noise is doing just fine.

    I'm sure your paranoia stems from all the drugs you ingested, Hippie Dud.

  39. docwillis says:

    See, foxnoise has to attack President Obama, otherwise they wouldn't have anything else to broadcast. Heaven forbid they report actual news. They can do only so much promoting of their teaparties.

    foxnoise, bashing Obama for “patriots”, 24/7 – what a wonderful recipe for success.

    But no news value, whatsoever.

    This is soo NUTS why do “not too sound racist” white America think America is too be runned by Whites. 1st of all as time trickeles down too this 2012 syndrome there have been soo much new information put out there that History should be rewritten. History is a propaganda. 1st, History shows that the true Americans were the Indians who lived on what was later call the U.S territories, Christopher Columbus wasn't the first to land on America he is the first to Document it an legitimize it's exsistence. 1st man coming too america were not white they were tribal people who through breeding with other tribes created modern man with fare skin instead of tanned. So too see White America in fear of this Black President is crazy, are we too believe we are too be ruled by the White stereo type. United States? are we United within ourselves too be called United States
