It's FOX Attacks time… again.
In March we all took on Fox and we beat them. Bad. The Nevada Fox-sponsored presidential debates were cancelled when our videos showing Fox's distortions were spread far and wide. Local bloggers worked like crazy, activists around the country wrote and called, and MoveOn used their strategic strength and smarts to bring it all home.
Now Fox is at it again. The only surprise this time is the amount of time and energy they are putting into denying that the sun sets in the west. Okay, well not exactly, but pretty close. They are fighting the scientific truth of the climate crisis and are claiming it just isn't so! I'm not kidding. Take a look at the video evidence, you won't believe what you see. (Well, maybe you will)
Seen enough? Now it's time to get to work. Join with us, the Sierra Club, and MoveOn to put an end to this propaganda and distortion by appealing to Fox's advertisers. Specifically, Home Depot. Why? Because Home Depot says they care about the environment. So we're giving them a chance to prove it by asking them to stop advertising on Fox until it changes its lies and distortions about the climate crisis.
Tell Home Depot to stop advertising on Fox!
No responsible company claiming to support the environment should be advertising with a corporation that consistently deceives America about the climate crisis. Rupert Murdoch says he wants to "get their house in order." Let's help him along by applying pressure to his bank accounts.
Thank you for joining us in this next FOX ATTACKS battle.

Sure liberals care about the environment. That’s why they support Hollywood celebrities with private jets and mansions!
Rocky Lore…adding to his resume of retarded, pointless, unoriginal, dumbass comments.
“That’s why they support Hollywood celebrities with private jets and mansions!”
Will, you pinko moron. You don’t preach environmentalism while flying around in private jets, you don’t call someone greedy if you don’t donate anything yourself, and you CERTAINLY shouldn’t demand the firing of Don Imus while giving a free pass to rappers who call women bitches and hos.
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that humans have an impact on the environment. “Fossil fuel burning has produced about three-quarters of the increase in CO2 from human activity over the past 20 years. Most of the rest is due to land-use change, in particular deforestation” http://www.grida.no
The debate now is the link between temperature increase and the environmental effects humans have made. The reason we cannot make the link is due to us not having the ability to see if this temperature increase is an historic anomaly, or if patterns show a cause-and-effect with C02 emissions. The information we have now shows that there is a ‘high probability of a link’. Regardless if your a cynic or otherwise, the price we could pay for being tentative with this issue is enormous. The best solution is to deal with it immediately. The Stern report suggests it will cost 1% of GDP per year to solve this, and the costs are 3% of GDP each year due to climate change.
With the US being the only country not to ratify the Kyoto protocol from March08, stating ‘it will be too harmful to the economy’, however the Stern report suggests it is more harmful to do nothing.
Im not sure Americans realise how unfavourably you are viewed around the world as a result of being the only country not to ratify the Kyoto protocol and being the worlds largest C02 emitter. Regardless of the protocol’s criticism, the fact that the US is looking for excuses rather than sustainability is showing the world how corporate interests have made the US so backward.
Fox serves as just another organisation designed to create debate and confusion.
ExxonMobil states in their global warming strategy; “Victory will be achieved when Average citizens [and the media] ‘understand’ (recognize) uncertainties in climate science; recognition of uncertainties becomes part of the ‘conventional wisdom’”
and “Those promoting the Kyoto treaty on the basis of extant science appear out of touch with reality”
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/entity.jsp?entity=exxonmobil
Exxonmobil has ties to DCI group, which serves as an adviser to the Bush/Cheney campaign and represents corporate interests. The link between Fox news, News corp and republican support is not difficult to make. Fox’s stance on climate change is simply to create confusion thus to satisfy corporate interests.
Dont use this information to attack republicans/democrats here. I have no idea how some of you hold the opinion that climate change doesnt exist due to what you hear of people being divided over it.
I suggest you all read the Stern report, or at least Wiki this topic before deciding what to believe.
Oh wait Its still ) degrees in March….Yay global warming!!!! wait 0 degrees in march is warm…wtf?!?!
Somethimes i hope that USA will be hit by something really horrible as a wake up call. It is beyond me to understand how a Country that stands for so much good can be influenced by so much bad. One day hopefully the people will wake up and smell the coffee until then i hope that a REAL president gets elected that can look to what USA needs and what the WORLD needs instead of what different global corporations need…
If global warming is such a threat, then why are all these “environmentalists” STILL flying around in private jets and getting rides in limos with single-digit mileage?
um… katrina?
>Somethimes i hope that USA will be hit by >something really horrible as a wake up call.
the only thing they learned from katrina is that niggers can’t swim. Dear Lord, let a hurricane destroy fox. And if it’s not to much to ask, hit that Trotta-creature by lightening!
It truly behooves me how on other networks for the most part there is fair and balanced reporting but on FOX who they claim it is fair and balanced when it is NOT! THE HYPOCRISY! o ye and Fred stop acting like a Klan wannabe. You must be from the Ozarks. You are a nigger for being ignorant and the people you call niggers are anything but. You are the embarassement of the white race
The conservative political machine is so driven by monetary profit. Even if it were proven without a shadow of a doubt that the climate would destroy all human life within 10 years, the conservatives would still pooh-pooh it. All they care about is money, Money, MONEY!!!
And when’s someone going to publicly have the
nerve to tell Americans the pig-think -fat ass
suburban sprawl lifestyle —has got to go?
-You know how much oil is guzzled?
and–
-How many toxins are needed
to keep just California,s
chlorine pool and lawncare scene in action?
And over the decades -all of it seeping into
the water table.
Notice the strange tide of exotic, and fatal
neurological conditions in your neighborhood?
I have.
These people are idiots. The majority(like 98%) of scientist agree tat global warming is occurring. But the REAL debate is whether or not it is because of humans. Global warming has been natural but scientist DO believe that the way we abuse and pollute the air that we have at least SOME effect on the environment. To say that it doesn’t have ANY effect is stupid idiotic and just plain retarded.
Sad, but not unpredictable. A hypocritical company releases a hypocritical statement about pulling their support of a hypocritical news station. Apparently, hypocrisy has reached pandemic levels in this, the greatest free country in the world. It’s just unfortunate that there aren’t as many people who look INTO these statements, as there are that just take them at face value.
Murdoch works for the PRC
big-biz lobby -just like CNN
-and Hollywood.
What do you expect?
No news here—
well its people like you guys cutting up fox clips and trying to get them off the air that starts killing our country. Why as americans would you want only liberal stations where you like what you hear. Its dangerous its too much power to a party and playes right into politicians hands. It allows these politicians a place where they can be unchallenged by any question. Why do you think Obama and edwards didn't go on fox during campaigning cause they were afraid of questions. anyone thats afraid of questions is either hiding something or doesn't have the answer, and neither of those things are good for a president to have.
@dilbert – do a little research on Fox, who owns it, and how much media they control – not just here but around the world. Its scary to think one man – and he doesnt even live here – controls so much of our media. And yes, he is a naturalized citizen only because he had to become one. Why? Only US citizens can own and control media interests here in the US. Just look up FOX on wikipedia and go from there.
Yes, but sadly there are many who will not or cannot go find the truth for themselves. They hear it on Fox or anywhere else and to them it becomes gospel. All media MUST be forced to provide the undoctored truth. Plain and simple.
What about the california sized glacier they said the sensors didnt “pickup” if thats the kind of equipment they are using then how much have they missed.
Heh, yes, we all see what kind of great qualities the conservatives offer up!!! Let's see, your past 2 shots were the Bushes, soooo….are manipulation, greed, corruption, flat-out LYING, ignorance, or a personal agenda the kind of qualities this country needs? Conservatives need to explain how they can offer us BOTH Bushes consecutively before they can start talking about presidential quality, or qualities.
well, I would say that man has affected the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, but certainly not the temperature. And if you do want to say that man is affecting the temperature, then think again. I mean, looking at the charts in the inconvenient truth, you'll notice that the rise in temperature is NATURAL. the temperature goes up, and it goes down again – even like 100 thousands years ago on the chart. and what human owned a factory in that time? nowadays, factories and machines are the cause of rises in carbon dioxide levels, and that, instead of affecting temperature, affects the air we breathe… so dare I say this, FOX is technically correct – global WARMING can technically be proven as natural and not man-made. man-made stuff just affects, like I said before, the air quality in the atmosphere…
Fantastic video! May I please put it on my “ONLINE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM” Blog at:

It's dangerous for Fox News to spread such lies. Why can't they interview the 2,200+ scientists who conservatively estimated what the effects of man's co2 contributions are going to be? Robert
How funny it is to read this now that FOX and the Bush administration has done a recent backflip on their views on global warmimg!
I'm going to keep your posting, and lets compare it to your later views, which just “cough cough” happen to change as soon as Bush's did, m'kay?
“well its people like you guys cutting up fox clips and trying to get them off the air that starts killing our country.”
Nice nonsensical post, dilbert. “fox clips”? Is English your second language?
“Why as americans would you want only liberal stations where you like what you hear.”
They're “networks”, NOT “stations”. Regardless, why, as an American, would you want only right-wing propaganda where you like what you hear?
“Its dangerous its too much power to a party and playes right into politicians hands. It allows these politicians a place where they can be unchallenged by any question.”
Like Sean Hannity's whiffleball interview with VP Dick Cheney? Or his even softer whiffleball interview with Sarah Palin?
“Why do you think Obama and edwards didn't go on fox during campaigning cause they were afraid of questions.”
No. it's because they know Fox is a propaganda network and not a legit news network.
And would it kill you to use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Sheesh, it makes you look really, really dumb.
“anyone thats afraid of questions is either hiding something or doesn't have the answer, and neither of those things are good for a president to have.”
Ah, brings back memories of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney… where they gave only exclusive interviews with Fox. Or has that fact slipped your mind as well?
Nice, nonsensical post, Locky Rore…
Oh, I forgot! You're a Fox News “viewer”…
“PS: Since I'm a life-long conservative, and proud of it, I'd like to suggest that you keep on with your campaign against Fox and keep cheering MoveOn along. Real people know misinformation when we see it.”
Then you must REALLY know Fox News, because they use TRUCKLOADS full of it!
You guys will do anything to make your points valid, won't you? You take what's being said completely out of context. You take bits and pieces of their show that make them look like the bad guys, and then you leave out the details of the rest of that context. If you left that stuff in, then you wouldn't have a case, would you? My guess is is that you either don't listen to the whole issue being discussed, or you're part of the government trying to keep the truths that Fox News portrays uncovered and hidden.

And my guess is you're a foxnoise parrot incapable of thinking on your own since all you do is echo the same nonsense over and over again.
I wonder if the “viewers” of foxnoise realize rupert murdock supposedly went green?
Kinda goes against the propaganda that oreilly, hannity, beck, and the three stooges of “foxandfriends” spew.

hmmm. I wonder what people's thought's are now that the e-mail's have shown a deliberate distortion. And that all the evidence which proves Global warming and cooling has, is and always will be a natural phenomina. Even the IPCC's own graph which includes the last 160 years shows that there were spikes in the temperature in 1860 and again in 1905, both for similar periods and by the same degree. Noone can deny that graph. Quite clearly from a lot of the posts I have read this is more about politic's than real concern about the argument for or against Man-made Global Warming and rather strengthens the views of those who believe the IPCC's claims to be absolute garbage.
Tree rings once showed an accurate picture of the years temps but since 1980 for some unknown reasons (some believe global warming/excess co2) the readings DO NOT show true temp readings, hence the “trick” to “hide” the data.
NASA has just released a report that the last decade was exceptionaly WARM.
I used to be a skeptic untill I researched the skeptics accusations and found out they are a bunch of LIARS.
Sea ice as thick as a decade ago………A total LIE.
We are in a cooling trend………………..Read the NASA story.
Sunspot causes warming trends………..If true, we should be in a cooling trend since current sunspot activity should show a cooling trend wich it does NOT!!
What brought me here was something a fox reporter (basically) said… “…energy independence is a hoax and will never happen”. Therefore I believe that Fox is infact trying to decieve America!
It is obvious that all nations need to become at least mostly energy independent, otherwise we all will fall back into another dark age. Oil will run out and Fox knows that, but they continue to dismiss that and say “something else better and cheaper will come” but at the same time say “wind is like the ethanol of electricity”, another flat out lie! (Ethanol does, however consume almost as much energy as it gives but fox said it consumes more). Fox is feeding on all the conspiracy theorists who believes all scientists are paid by the black helicopters… I believe that it is possible that the 300 CUBIC miles of CO2 humanity has added can indeed have no effect… But I would rather believe Stephen Hawkings (in that global warming is cause for serious concern)…
~It is the natural course of humanity's evolution to exponentiate renewable energy collection and storage~
Let the robots build the billions of solar panels and what not, let the people install in mass across the globe!
Yes on Solar
