MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - 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 - urge news organizations to ask tough questions about administration policy on Iran and say citizens should pressure them to do so.http://www.FoxAttacks.com Tag it:               |
