Robt Greenwald & Brave News Films take on the "Anti-Obama Virus" & Fox News
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/03/guerrilla-filmm.html

Left-leaning Brave New Films on Friday launched a viral video campaign that seeks to diminish Fox News' influence on the rest of the political news media

The four minute video airs footage of Fox News reports that compare senator Barack Obama to Chairman Mao, and radio commentary comparing him to Hitler. It also shows how some of the controversial commentary makes its way into other popular news outlets.

In an e-mail blast, the group's founder Robert Greenwald asks supporters to sign a petition that he says he plans on sending to news rooms chiefs. He wants the rest of the media to stop following Fox's lead.

This video is the latest in a series that Brave New Films has made over the past few months. The series is called Fox Attacks!

1. Great! I knew brilliant minds with money could
eventually come up with a way to counterattack fauxnooze. The fauxnooze that just happens to be sucking the life outta our country.

And not just faux..the whole m$$$$m that thinks since they have the mega- bullhorn they can manipulate anything they want in our Nation.
