So now Fox is the enemy?
Now we discover that it was Rupert Murdoch who is pulling the strings for the war against terrorism, thanks to brilliant Bernie Sanders and Michael Moore wannabe Robert Greenwald, according to Breitbart;
Condemning the Fox News Channel as a warmonger that’s agitating for a U.S. attack on Iran, documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald and independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders announced an “online viral video campaign” Wednesday calling on television news organizations “not to follow Fox down the road to war again.”
Greenwald, the director behind “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism” and “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price,” has compiled a new three-minute video that mashes clips from Fox’s coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and its aftermath with recent coverage of possible U.S. military action against Iran.The video and an accompanying “open letter” to ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN—viewable at http://www.FoxAttacks.com—urge news organizations to ask tough questions about administration policy on Iran and say citizens should pressure them to do so.
I guess it never occured to either of them to investigate something like Hussein’s ties to al Qaeda or the failures of the Clinton Administration to defend us against terrorists, or even the repressive government of Iran. It’s just a lot easier to justify an attack against a news agency than it is to justify an attack against people who are actually killing other people.
But that’s the kind of people the new flatlanders who’ve invaded Vermont send to the Senate to represent them – other idiot flatlanders.
According to the Washington Examiner, fingers are flying on Capitol Hill about who’s to blame for 9-11 intelligence failures;
P.J. Crowley, a Clinton aide on the National Security Council staff and now an analyst at the Center for American Progress, said the elder Bush started the decline.
The CIA’s release this week of an internal report critical of the agency’s pre-Sept. 11 intelligence work has sparked a new debate on who is to blame — Democrats or Republicans.
Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, issued a statement Wednesday charging that “drastic cuts in funding to intelligence agencies during the 1990s made it difficult for the CIA to do its job.â€
He said renewed attempts to blame Bush are “an unwarranted cheap shot.â€
Experts estimate that the intelligence budget was about $40 billion in 1990. By 1998, the sixth year of Bill Clinton’s presidency, it had dropped to $26.7 billion. In the next two years it rose above $30 billion, then took a quantum leap after Sept. 11 to about $45 billion today.
Um, fellas, let’s not lose sight of who’s really to blame here – the Islamists and Syria and Iran. Instead of fighting over decades old funding cuts, lets pull together and beat these clowns.
