How to Stop the Smears Against Obama

The FOX smears are continuing and we need to stop them from spreading to the rest of the media.  Watch FOX's laughably inaccurate distortions, as they smear Barack Obama on everything from the economy to race to patriotism to flag pins. 

In the coming weeks, FOX will escalate its gross misrepresentations of Obama, and we know from painful past experience that some in the corporate media will spread FOX's canards by presenting them as fact.  We must stop the spread.

Now that you've had the chance to watch we need you to make sure everyone else sees the distortions as we work to stop them.  Sign our petition and demand FOX stop serving up blatant lies for the rest of the media to swallow.  It's critical that you send it to everyone you know, get it to your local newspapers and TV stations, and post it on blogs and networking sites. 

This is a game show because satires sometimes can be a powerful weapon.  Let's use it to make sure the media know that when it comes to Obama, The FOX Is Wrong!

Fox, when it isn't distorting political reality, has become the Missing White Girl Network.
Oh, and they sure do cover fires that can be seen by cameras on ``choppers.''
They've combined the cheeziest techniques of local news with the propaganda of right-wing radio.
But they are dangerous and powerful. Hannity and O'Reilly pose ``questions'' like a prosecutor in a kangaroom court. They are loaded, full of bias and smear. Someone should give these thugs a taste of their own medicine.

News Media that is opinion media.... REQUEST NEW LAW THAT LABELS MEDIA FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION: If a media broadcast or paper is reporting based on opinions that have no basis in fact... it must clearly state that's what it is at the beginning of every broadcast!!! It is deceptive to call a propaganda show 'NEWS' and fools the public.. not unlike communism propaganda coming out of China or Russia

DARE PEOPLE TO BLOCK THE FOX NETWORK !!!!!!

Really life is so much better without any of the Fox Network lies and dumbing down programs in your life.

Kids even seem happier when there is no Fox Network access in your home !!!!!!!

I know mine are happier and don't even have smart remarks much anymore.

They actually listen to me more.

No Bart Simpson or WEIRDO SHOWS from Fox in my house !!

Hey!

Don't point your self-righteous dad finger at The Simpsons - they have nothing to do with the toxic putrescence that is FoxNews.

The Simpsons creators have long lampooned the Fox network (and Rupert Murdoch) in defiance of corporate censorship. The show itself is a bastion of free speech ideals and literate, humorous satire.

Ask your kids...they're probably watching Bart & Co. when you're not around.

Wouldn't it be best to go after the money? Their sponsors? Fox is here to stay. How about going after the rest of the media who continue to follow Fox's lead and give credibility to their smears.

The saddest thing about the success of Foxnews is that the very people who go on the multitude of shows all know better. Senators, Congressman, Pastors, Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers and assorted professionals and PHD's all know that Foxnews lies, they know Foxnews spins, they know Foxnews is not fair and balanced. They all know all of this, yet they still go on??? Each of them getting their fifteen minutes of fame, each of them selling out their children, their spouses, their traditions, their country all for a very narrow view of the world and frankly against each of their own best interests.

The agenda at Fox is not an agenda that promotes conservation, productivity, efficiency or sound business practices. It is not a place that allows progressive thinking, honesty, and fairness. Its programs are not designed to help the average American become smarter or understand the hows and whys of how this country works but rather a blow horn for how Foxnews thinks this country should work. This network promotes the dumbing down of America and misinforming the public at large using fear, propaganda and a very loud voice.

The point of Fox programming is to program the viewers.

Signing a petition will get Fox to stop the smears? Gee, I wish!
