Fox does unto Iran as it Did unto Iraq

Rupert Murdoch wants to kill your 18 year-olds in a fruitless war with Iran. Robert Greenwald's video shows how Faux Cable News is running the same scam on Iran that it ran on Iraq, with side by side footage so you can see the Goebbels techniques at work. Liberals don't like anything that smacks of censorship, but I really think our body public won't be safe from this nefarious media conspiracy until we mount an effective campaign of advertiser boycott against the corporations who underwrite this fascist horse manure.

Either Faux news lawyers have hacked it or there is a problem getting it to start

Regarding "Fox does unto Iran." True, but sadly, NPR News is disgracefully following the same script. This post is just their most recent "attack Iran" report.

This is only the beginning. Remember former Chief of Staff and GM executive, Andrew Card's declaration, “From a marketing point of view, you don’t roll out new products in August.”

Expect the propaganda push for war to begin after Labor Day with the "Face of Evil" president (not vice president) cheney and his minions leading the charge.

Media consolidation is the weakest link in the chain that supports the corporate domination of U.S. politics. If that can be broken up the rest falls pretty much apart.

So I stoped watching Fox News, both local and cable, Fox Sports and Fox Entertainment years ago. I avoid all things associated with Murdock including newspapers and movies. I think the only way to get Murdock's attention is through his wallet. It is all about money. What does he care about our country. I wonder how many progressives are going to cancel their subscription to the Wall Street Journal. How important is watching 24 to the US population? How important is a war with Iran? Probably not important enough for us all to give up 24.
