Here we go again? Iraq and Iran propaganda sound strangely familiar

Another good one from Robert Greenwald, this video juxtaposes the build up to war with Iraq with the drumbeat of war now being made to go after Iran. You can follow the link below to sign a petition to encourage the networks to behave themselves.

FOX Attacks Iran:

Dear ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN,

“My station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at FOX News.”

That is CNN’s Christiane Amanpour explaining why the major television networks failed to accurately inform the public in the lead-up to the Iraq war, choosing instead to follow FOX’s lead.

Now, FOX is beating the drums for war with Iran. Robert Greenwald’s short film, “FOX Attacks: Iran”, outlines the evidence from the station’s own broadcasts, comparing their reporting before the Iraq war with what they are saying now about Iran.

You have a sacred responsibility to the American people to provide accurate and reliable information so we can best make the decisions which affect our lives. We urge you to accurately and thoroughly report all sides of this important story.

Please do not blindly follow FOX down the road to another war.
