CBS, is owned by Viacome, NBC is owned by General Electric, ABC is owned by Disney, and Fox Noise is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Not much of a liberal crowd there

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. This allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts now are of the 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 to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process.

You all missing the point. Israel is the only beneficent of destroying Iraq and Iran. They want us to fight their war. They are trying to do the same thing again and we are all falling into the same trap. FOXNEWS is one of the biggest propaganda machine.

so they found weapons, with iranian writting on them, ok be that as it may. but anybody want to talk about all the weapons with american writting on them

Speakking of WW2 - wasn't that war started by people who believed in preemptive strike against presumed future enemies? Why are Hitler and Hirohito role models that conservatives want to emulate?

The Looser Dems won't go on Nazi, I mean FUX News b/c they are not a real news organization and that was admitted the other night.....

Someone on there said they don't have to tell the truth, they can run propaganda if they want.....

All they are is cheerleaders for Neo-cons, not even conservatives, if so they would love Ron Paul, but they ware for Neo-COn propaganda.....They put spin on everything and don't report the news like it is......Even during they day they are talking about left this right this....

People are tired ofhearing about that...

Look at the debates and all the fake quesitons they ask......Its all about nuclear war, Iran attacking the US or some type of BOmb going off but they make no mention of closing the D*** border with Mexico and upholding the constitution of the US......b/c if they uphold the constitution th war would be illegal and torture and everything else they love and have wet dreams about.

The problem is too much greed in this world. The US corporations and rich individuals want to protect their money and their control in the mid-east. That's what the war is about, Iran has nothing to do with the US ...the only reason for the tensions is because the US is trying to control their neighborhood.

What Fox News is doing is terribly wrong, they're spewing false information and deceiving the people.

Al Qaeda is a extremist sunni movement that started in Saudi Arabia, became big in Pakistan/Afghanistan during the Soviet era, in which the US gov. nurtured and supported this group.

The Al Qaeda hate shia's and regard them as heretics and killing them is okay to them.

What the US gov. has to do is, pull out of Iraq. And engage in HONEST business dealings with the countries and people in the middle east. Instead of killing and weakening people there, in order to take the resources for free and charge the people there for US services and business. It's a crime what is happening.

I just want to say this in response to the last two post. The real power of American people is not just respect and leadership. But it is also freedom and democracy.

Would I be able to come into your country and protest against your government and its leadership (Venezualan President Hugo Chavez)? What other country lets a foreign leader do that?Would I be able to come to your country and be protected by its laws with regards to my human rights? Would I be able to openly practice whatever religion I respectively believe in?

You see America is not an enemy to the world because the world makes up America. America is just a place that the rest of the world can come to and have an opportunity to live to your fullest potential. Why are so many people trying to come here? I have personally been around the world and seen how the rest of the world lives. What we have here cannot be taken for granted.

When 9/11 happened you saw the real power of America and that is unity when our way of life is threatened. America is not a bully as the rest of the world may want to think. We are protecting our way of life that we cheerish more than anything else. Which is a free and open society, so when the twin towers went down the gloves came off.

History will show you the real power of America when that way of life has been threatened, look at Pearl Harbor. So don't be mistaken at all, the world has yet to see the full power of America today. And we will all stand and fight to protect that way of life we all cheerish.

Enemies we have in Europe? Most of the original immigrants to this country came from there. The Chinese Dragon spitting out feathers? You should beware China is a communist country where you have no freedom of religious practice or many other rights. This is not a perfect country but show me a perfect man.

Americans don't get too comfortable and drop your guard. The world is a much smaller place now so the style of protecting the lifestyle you cheerish has changed. Our real power is our unity in preserving and protecting the Constitution that gives you the freedom to openly have this discussion without the fear of persecusion. So lets stop being close minded and get real, the world is much more dangerous. Just like times get more dangerous right here in this country.

God Bless the USA,
An American Patriot

THANK GOD I DON'T LIVE IN THE U.S.

You toe tapping American hypocrites.
Supported Saddam. You supported Bin Laden.
Now 190,00 weapons disappear in Iraq and one wonders who you are supporting now. Taking the Saudi Rial in exchange for your silence you damn yourselves as 9.11 proves.
Invading Iraq is the end of American power. The real power that was respect and leadership is vanishing. Have your pissey little empire. The Chinese Dragon will be spitting out Eagle feathers in years to come, because your arrogance pushed your neck out too far.
Insult Islam as much as you like. Its the trap that is dragging you down. All the enemies you have in Europe with all the enemies in the Middle ~East are growing daily as your vile abusive behaviour shows what you are really made of. Spoilt and bloated parasites.
Take on Iran and you will learn it means to be in a War.
Blood for blood. Sacrifice for the motherland is no price to pay for repelling barbarians.

Look, I'm quite sure the Iranians will greet us as liberators and shower us with rose petals, we can pay for it with petrol revenue, and what the heck Ahmed Chalabi is a Persian speaking Shia, right...?

Cloak yourselves in denial,
Convince yourselves that right & justice are on your side.
Be sure your garments are secure, as it is not only Hollywood that sees the truth; the world community recognizes the brutality of this invasion & occupation.
In the name of Democracy, Capitalism & Christ, the Bush administration justifies a brutal war on a crippled nation.
Admit that this is a geo-political gamble designed to secure & isolate strategic resources from the rising Eastern powers.
How far would that truth propel the American public?
What event & story will you summon to restart the draft?
This campaign of fear & hate will hit that wall.
We will be there.
This must end.

Postcog, thank you for your thoughtful words - you hit the nail on the head. But do you think Gerald Lagedec and Mr. Timtan can think through their fear/ideological leanings to see what you are saying? That the real story is in what our long time associations with these groups have been and what is really on the table now, like is anyone following the insane flipflopping in Afghanistan? No wonder we are in trouble!x

The guy HAS to put in a bad word about Cuba, one of the next targets on the list, while he's at his task. They confer with the Taliban too, don't you know! I like how they spew all this shit and there is never an attribution. I have been trying to get my simpler friends to look for information like this when they are reading a news story or watching Bullshit TV so as to make BS detection easier. Actually, Mr. Greenwald and whoever else is listening, we should start a grass roots campaign of spreading around a bulleted list of Pointers For Reading or Seeing the News and How To Interpret it. Something with a little bit of humor and easy to remember, something we wouldn't have a hard time delivering to all and sunder. That segment of people who follow O'Really and the rest of it need to be reached, and this is one way to do it. It will empower them and make them feel better about themselves and make them less easy to fool.

thanks saman& ahmadreza
listen american people&government:

I'm iranian boy...

we love our country....we love all people in the world.......& we love our FLAG.....
so finish this Debate!

there is just a simple thing.we love our country,any one there in us can undrestand this simple thing?we never let iran be another iraq.

Those in the administration who are making these claims are the VERY same people who said Saddam and Bin Laden are BEST Buddies, forgetting that Bin Laden thought Saddam as a secular ruler was AN INFIDEL. Here we go again. Iran = Shia, Taliban = Sunni, Shia + Sunni = enemies, so does it stand according to their logic that Iran + Taliban = allies?

hi i'm an iranian ,i want you to pay attention to this fact that if anyone attacks our country and kill our people and drop bomb in our neighborhood , i and the other people will go mad and i personally will kill whoever responsible,
you should be really careful , some people outside iran who are some iranians who recommend you to attack us are some minorities not a whole , and most of them are those people who our nation 30 years ago overthrew them ( i mean SHAH AND PAHLAVI FAMILY and their supporters)

they want you to attack us because of their interest not because of our nation prosperity , be aware in your country , usa , most of media are influenced by isreali lobbies that sekk their own interest , do you want to kill yourself and other people for their interests?
one of them is foxnews.pay attention if you put two people in front of me , one iranian and the other american , i will live both of them equally , may you won't believe it , but believe it or not we are a friendly nation who love all .we hate bloodshed and because of this if anyone attack us we will respond very strongly.
o you american people we know that our government has some troubles inside , but we love it , we iranian always gather around our flag .
be aware we indeed are not afraid of death , because or our families security and for most because of our god's promise that true men will eventually win over bad men ,we think that if we die in a true way our lives arten't useless and being killd for defending our families is a prosperity but we hate war if any country attack us we WILL DEFEND STRONGLY .do not close your eyes and do not be a tool in isreali's hands ,and if your government has some unligitimized demands , well it's your government's problem that you should solve , why the other countries should pay for it ,
we love all people , it's our real nature , .
lemme tell you something when tourists come to visit our land they are surprised , you know why , because when they arrive iran they expect bad-mannered and violent people ( because of your bad media that are some nasty tools in bad mens' hands) but they face very receptive people , if you don't believe it ,ok try ! come here and see what's going on here.and at last , i'm a 21 year old boy ,and i'm not a member of revolutionary guard and other factions , just a simple sample of iranian young people.
best regards ,
AHMAD REZA

Interesting world. US creats Taliban during soviet, then loose his control over them , call them terorist and attack them. Osama comes from Saudi,15 out of 19 terorists involved in 9/11 were from Saudi, Saudi exports major terorist all over the world. Not even a single Iranian national is proved to be involved in any terorist activity. At the end of the day, Saudi is the friend and Iran is the enemy !!!! hahahaha
have you ever thaght why ? Because terorism is some thing to make people fool. Just an excuse to attack the nations who dont bowe to the knee to the US government.
Western people, Please thinck twice before you accept any rubish conducted to your mind by the media.

Actually, the weapons claim "that have Iranian writing on them" has been refuted on Charlie Rose by Iran's UN ambassador: The dates written on the weapons use the mm-dd-yyyy system. The only country to use that system is the US. Iran uses the dd-mm-yyyy system. Interesting, eh?

Sam - love that "compassionate" conservatism and utterly brilliant foreign policy. Just attack, bomb, kill, invade, occupy . . . who cares if we recruit more terrorists or that the world despises us or that we have lost our moral standing as the standard bearer for justice on this planet.

Bob is right, you need to do a better job visualizing a million Iranians dying in the nuclear attack the US has already planned as one millitary option. Imagine innocent men, women and children having their flesh ripped and burned from their bodies by an agression that you supported.

Sam, any evidence for what you take as "facts"? you know that Taliban actually seized and killed everyone in an iranian consulate in Qandehar a few years back?
For a moment, imagine that you re a normal Iranian, just going after your daily life (after all, what is the different between any of us and an Iranian? who chooses were and from whom you are born?), now, would you like to be bombed to pieces cuz someone thinks that your country might be a threat (with no evidence)? I didn't think so.
after all, is it not understandable why Iran seeks to gain more power? who wants to be defenseless against these maniacs in White house. and as for the threat, they just talk about it, its us who starts a new war every few years. open your eyes.

o o ,calm down, we Iranian are so peaceful, we only want nuclear to share it with our brothers in Palestine and Lebanon, we only help them to kill more jowish , is that really bad what we do?, and who cares we help taliben in Afghanistan, in our mind they all deserve to die, hey take it easy just bomb Iran, who cares

Lieberman cost Gore the presidency: True
Lieberman is a war monger: True
Bolton is a rat: true
Bush and Cheney use the same tactics as the Nazis did in their drive to WW2: true
Fox News is the mouth piece for the Zionists: true

Nearer the time the U.S.A. attacks Iran,
during the Games of slaughter, a massive
earthquake will devastate a greater part of
California, the timing of great sorrow will be
upon the them,we will be in war with a third
bother, the sky will burn ,the world quake in
Japan,China,Asia prepare for the time is near,
heed to my warnings. ALFAOMAGA

I´d rather see IRAN with NUKES than USA....ya´ war mongering motherfuckars...LOL***

Bush and Cheney have planned on going into Iran all along. Unless they are removed from office and the democrats grow some balls, we are going to be in a war in Iran. One thing is certain, we must hold these republican bastards accountable. We must force them to do the fighting and the dying and if they refuse, we must be prepared to kill them right here in our own country.

They have killed thousands in pursuit of oil, and they will not stop until they control all the worlds supply. There is no law, no moral impediment that will stand in their way. We have our very own Adolph Hitler right in the White House.

It would not surprise me if Bush attempts to cancel our elections, and when that happens, we must take action against all of his supporters. I think the 70% of us that see the bastards for what they are will have no trouble eliminating the objections from the 29% crowd.

If the democraps are afraid of Fox News how can they stand up to TERRORISTS????

It is funny to see comments from those who have succumbed to the brainwashing by defending FOX. One had the gall to say that independents watch FOX. Just a hint FVFDGM, Colmes is not Democrat nor does he count as an opposing view and you have incorrectly characterized your view by claiming independence. Fox refuses to allow anyone with "defeatist" views because that would skew the "facts" about the entire country supporting Bush. And its the a few "left-leaning loons" (o'reilly's term) that created this uproar. Is it not sad they spend the entire day attacking these "few" folks that have somehow created "propaganda that threatens the very fabric of our nation."

Could it be true that the majority of Americans don't believe a word from the president, his advisors, his departments, or his federal media outlet? (And you complain about Chavez...silly)

Nah, Fox has a poll from an unidentified source that had friends close to the independent study group that refuses to name itself, supporters, or whether it understands statistics, because giving unnecessary fodder like that it just what those lefty loons want so are children will die at night.

Fox does not create the truth...the administration creates the truth and you listen just as the Germans you speak of incorrectly followed Hitler into the IDEALOGY that their race was superior. Given thousands of unqualified reports presented as breaking news without a shred of evidence, Fox should be sensured until they prove that at least 5% of their journalists can define ethics...and can analyze the real facts such the following: their reputation will forever be associated with what has already become the largest "surge" of mis-information the country has ever seen; this country is fed up with the administration; this country is controlled by those with the highest bid; and (be quiet...the big one) they DON'T give a damn about you.

Please don't retort...you sound silly...no really.

P.S. Here is my favorite quote from from a bush cronie here in Texas. Joe Barton-R (Fort Worth), the "distinguished gentleman" representing the 6th District of Texas, had a profile in the Star-Telegram touting his wonders in helping our community expand poverty and destroy infrastructure. Anyway, the section offers the person chance to provide a favorite quote be it theirs or someone elses. Of course he chose his unrefined, I mean unparalleled, intelligence and grass roots charisma by offering this enfranchising statement:

"Be good, fear God, and make profit."

Hey Richmedia--if you're obviously so gung-ho about this war in Iraqnam, WHY HAVEN'T YOU ENLISTED? Are you just another rich, pampered PFC (Privileged Fascist Chickenhawk) who always expects working class and poor people's kids to fight and die in wars?

Don't be stooged
by Fox News.

Matt, wake up,"The bottom line is that it is a universal Jihad to destroy Israel, the USA, and other democratic nations who go against fundamental, radical Islam beliefs". wtf is that for a comment, GWBush (not america or american people) is on a personal crusade to create a Gov he can deal with into a seat in Iraq, that will keep Oil in Dollars instead of as agreed by Saddam Hussein in Euro,s, stop bleating on about how, they were involved with Al Queda, had WMD, were a threat to anyone other than domestic affairs, ie, maltreatment of suspects *Abu Grab* being heavy handed with peoples liberties *amendment to constitutions happening before your very eyes* democracy taken is everything, being heavy handed with opposers and anyonem who disagrees *US Gov and Fox media* besides, we in the west do not have democracy, we have the illusion of freedoms which dont exist, when did you last decide anything, now you dont even have freedom of expression or speech, try campaigning against something you disagree with happening in government, see how Fox News calls you an idiot , cuts your mic and tells you to shut up, see how you become a terrorist suspect and are wire tapped, arrested or persecuted even prosecuted under the newly formed waiver of Haebius Corpus, for being subversive, when all you aredoing is expressing you God given right to freedom of speech, c,mon America wake up, dont be sheeple. your not half a man if you can stand by idle while atrocities happen before you very nose, stand your post. semper fi

Greenwald, you are goofy. You've got your head in the sand. You should try coming up for air sometime.

To suggest that support from Syria and Iran for the terrorist cowards in Iraq is not happening is white-washing the truth, plain and simple. I heard a report last Sunday that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard have been attacking the Kurdish Iraqis in the north east sector just last weekend.

Note for some of you cut and run surrender types: Many Sunnis are now fighting the (thankfully) deceased exiled Jordanian terrorist Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi whose terrorist group is now know as al-Queda in Iraq.

PS, the only complete failure is with your perception.

The question is not a matter of whether Iran supports or is against the varied factions of Islam (Shia, Sunni, etc) or groups (Taliban, Al Qaieda, etc). The bottom line is that it is a universal Jihad to destroy Israel, the USA, and other democratic nations who go against fundamental, radical Islam beliefs. Also remember, just because some terrorists come from certain nations does NOT mean that those nations are specifically sponsoring those terrorists. Bid Ladin was and still is banned from Saudi Arabia.
In the case of Iran however, that current leader is obviously a serious threat and hell-bent of the destruction of Israel. He had publicly threatened Israel already. Why is this FOX footage so hard for some to believe?

Doesn't it worry you Timtan that Fox News is the ONLY broadcaster in the WORLD that is coming out with this bull. Check Murdoch's other papers around the world and you'll see that the Iran story is completly different in those other papers. You're being stooged man. Here's a link to Fox news in Austalia as a example.http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/
Murdoch wouldn't try it in Australia they think he's a joke there and that Fox News here is for "Dummies". And it's the same with his papers in England. Check it out yourself if you don't believe me.

FVFDGM asks "WHY ARE THE DEMS FOOLISHLY IGNORING FOX NEWS FOR DEBATES & INTERVIEWS?" That's easy. The Dems know its a load of crap. Iran is Shia and they HATE Sunnis,(Al Qaeda is also Sunni)particularly Iraq Sunnis who slaughtered a million Iranians during the Iran/Irag war of the 1980's

Fox is the infidel satan news site.They are lying! We Iranians are a peaceful people who just want Nuclear power so that we can share it with our brothers the Jews and then with you in the United States,but only one city at a time.I would write more but I must go beat my wife again and then kill my daughter because I saw her talking to a boy.

BUSH AIDS AL-QAIDA...

Before Bush Al-Qaida was a struggling group confined to mostly Afghanistan. Bush opened the door to Iraq

Calm down! Do you even know what you're talking about? You seem so worried about Iran that you forget that 1) the U.S. is allied with Saudi Arabia, 2) Sunni insurgents in Iraq get support from Saudi Arabia, 3) Al Quaeda is Sunni and Osama bin Ladin is of Saudi origin, 4) Saudi Arabia is primarily Sunni, 5) Iran is primarily Shiite, and 6) Iran only gained influence in Iraq after the U.S. removed Sadaam Hussein who kept the Sunni minority dominant over the Shiite majority.

So it seems that there are terrorists getting help from a country that is officially allies with the U.S. and is in all likelihood funding Al Quaeda(Saudi Arabia) And another country (Iran) which also has terrorists (but of a different kind, ones who are rivals of the 9/11 hijackers) has gained influence thanks to an unnecessary U.S. invasion.

Does anyone see the problem with this? Or are you rightwingers going to just keep namecalling, fearmongering, and avoiding facts you don't like? Do you understand the President's policies are giving material aid to the terrorists?! (And by logical extension that makes him also a...)

If we follow the pattern, attacking Iran will naturally involve giving more influence to another unfriendly country and their terrorists. So please, before you go off getting our country into mess, please THINK about the consequences. I know it's more fun to get scared and be scared, and fight the terrorists but secretly help them, but our country doesn't need any more fear or unnecessary conflict.

The Saudi Royal family was screened by the FBI before leaving the country and they did not fly home during the two days following 9/11 when U.S. air traffic was grounded.

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/flights.asp

Saudi Arabia had 15 of the 19 terrorist;
Bush let the Saudi's family fly home after 911 (with no investigation) , while grounding ALL Americans;
Saudi is said to be one of the largest suppliers of funds and personal for the insurgents and their sudicide bombers that are killing our soldiers.
Bin Laden is a Saudi.
why is Bush NOT after the Saudi's in Cheney's war on terror.

Wow this is such a stupid website. Are you blind you idiots? This satanic religion is trying to take over the world, and thank G0D Fox is showing what Iran is up to. If you liberal pansies were in charge during WWII, we'd be speaking German. If you don't want to stop Iran BEFORE they acquire nukes, how the hell do u wanna stop them AFTER they get it??? Wake up u idiots!

DO YOU REALLY THINK IRAN IS NOT INVOLVED IN IRAQ...IN ANY WAY? IF YOU DO,THEN YOU ARE FOOLISH. THESE PEOPLE WANT TO KILL US OR CONVERT US. DON'T YOU LISTEN TO THE WORDS SPOKEN BY THE CLERICS? THEIR WORDS SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED. AFTER SOMALIA, WHEN PRES CLINTON WITHDREW TROOPS WHEN 19 WERE INJURED/KILLED, BIN LADEN SAID WE WERE A PAPER TIGER & HAD NO WILL TO FIGHT. DO YOU THINK HE WAS RIGHT? DO WE LACK THE WILL? I HOPE NOT.
... RE: DEBATES, WHY DO THE DEMS GET EASY QUESTIONS WHILE THE GOP GETS ALL THE TOUGH & SOMETIMES, IGNORANT ONES? SHOULDN'T CNN, ABC, NBC, ETC. ASK BOTH PARTIES THE SAME KIND OF QUESTIONS? WHY ARE THE DEMS FOOLISHLY IGNORING FOX NEWS FOR DEBATES & INTERVIEWS? DON'T THEY KNOW HOW MANY INDEPENDENTS WATCH FOX? THEY ARE DISMISSING A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE & MUST BE AFRAID OF BRIT HUME & CHRIS WALLACE (D). KERRY HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO INDEPENDENTS ON FOX IN 2004 & TURNED THEM DOWN ... BIG HELP, WASN'T IT? BUT I SEE HE WILL NOW AGREE TO BE INTERVIEWED BY FOX .. WHY THE CHANGE? DGM

If you people would have been in charge during WWII, you would have buried your heads in the sand...the Germans would have taken over, and we would all be writing this article in German.....

WAKE UP!!!!!!

Well...from what I see.....THEY ARE AN IMMINENT THREAT!!!

Why is it you people have to attack the one news network that isnt totally nutcase liberal like yourselves? this is pathetic!!!!

Where is the repudiation? Where is the counter-argument. It does little good to post all this stuff without giving us the information we need to fight back.
