MediaMatters.org: This week on The Big Picture, Julie Millican fills us in on Fox News’ electioneering, Breitbart’s bizarre writers, and conservatives attacking the administration for literally anything.

MediaMatters: Since Barack Obama’s inauguration, Fox News has frequently engaged in political advocacy against the Democratic Congress and White House. Specifically, Fox News personalities have promoted and encouraged viewers to “join” tea party protests, Glenn Beck’s organization The 9-12 Project and its September 12 “March on Washington,” and town hall meetings; engaged in a witch hunt seeking to “get rid of” Obama administration officials and nominees; implored viewers to call Congress and the White House to protest Democratic policies; and celebrated “victor[ies]” when Democratic legislation has been stalled.

Media Matters president Burns: Fox News “a 24/7 political operation” geared to destroy Obama presidency, progressive agenda

“Voice of the opposition“: Fox News openly advocates against Democratic Congress, White House:

Beck: “Can you imagine what the world would be like if we didn’t have somebody standing up and playing opposition?”

Beck compares Fox News to Jews during Holocaust, other news organizations to silent bystanders

NOBEL BUMP: Now that Obama’s poll numbers are creeping up again, twisted Republican “toe-suckers” like Dick Morris will always find something …..to throw at him.

Reference: Glenn Beck, Republican strategist — When the Fox News host pushes a crackpot theory, it doesn’t take long for the GOP to run with it. A timeline

From MediaMatters: As media figures prepare to recognize President Obama’s 100th day in office, Media Matters has reviewed coverage since the inauguration and identified numerous myths and falsehoods about the administration and its policies:

MYTH: Obama has weakened our standing abroad: During and following Obama’s trip to Europe for the G-20 summit and to Trinidad and Tobago for the Summit of the Americas, conservative media figures frequently mischaracterized Obama’s actions and comments to claim they were signs of weakness, continuing the media trend of portraying Democrats as weak on matters of national security and foreign policy — [ READ MORE ]

MYTH: Obama and his policies have endangered the U.S.: As Obama proposed a Department of Defense budget for fiscal year 2010 and announced plans to close the U.S. prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, media figures have put forth falsehoods and other misinformation as purported evidence that Obama’s policies would endanger the United States — [ READ MORE ]

The Fox News Virus & The Pigs Spreading It!

These Pigs Started Spreading SWINE FEVER Years Ago

MYTH: Obama is responsible for the recession, stock market decline: Even as Obama was inaugurated in the midst of a recession and stock market decline that began under Bush, media figures have perpetuated myths and falsehoods that place responsibility for that recession on Obama. — [ READ MORE ]

MYTH: Obama is engaging in irresponsible spending: Media figures have frequently advanced falsehoods about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the administration’s fiscal year 2010 budget proposal, and other administration initiatives aimed at stabilizing the economy. For example, media figures often omitted the widely held views that governments must increase their spending during a recession and that all government spending has a stimulative effect. — [ READ MORE ]

FAIR and BALANCED “Tea Party” Promos on Fox Nation, …..O’REALLY?

The TOTALLY UNBALANCED, BIASED, BIGOTED and sometimes outrightly RACIST Cable “News” Channel — Fox News, is continuing a pattern of encouraging people to participate in “tea party” protests, described primarily as a response to President Obama’s fiscal policies, The Fox Nation linked to an April 8 Fox Forum entry by Fox News contributor James Pinkerton, titled, “Tea Parties: A Great Part of American History — And America’s Future.” The Fox Nation, which Fox News claims does not traffic in “biased media,” also featured an accompanying graphic: a used tea bag superimposed over images of the Constitution and the American flag.

The Republican “Tea Bag” Revolution

FEAR-MONGERING VIDEO: Glenn Beck imitates Obama pouring gasoline on “average American“; says: “President Obama, why don’t you just set us on fire? … We didn’t vote to lose the Republic”

Fox News’s bias and HATE propaganda is unmatched in modern history!

The Most Biased Name in News has an extraordinary right-wing tilt. On 3/1/01 Rupert Murdoch issued a challenge: “I challenge anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel.” I wonder whether he still thinks the same today.

“If it hadn’t been for Fox, I don’t know what I’d have done for the news,” Trent Lott gushed after the Florida election recount (Washington Post, 2/5/01). George W. Bush extolled Fox News Channel anchor Tony Snow (Now Dead)–a former speechwriter for Bush’s father–and his “impressive transition to journalism” in a specially taped April 2001 tribute to Snow’s Sunday-morning show on its five-year anniversary (Washington Post, 5/7/01). The right-wing Heritage Foundation had to warn its staffers not to watch so much Fox News on their computers, because it was causing the think tank’s system to crash.

When it comes to Fox News Channel, conservatives don’t feel the need to “work the ref.” The ref is already on their side. Since its 1996 launch, Fox has become a central hub of the conservative movement’s well-oiled media machine. Together with the GOP organization and its satellite think tanks and advocacy groups, this network of fiercely partisan outlets–such as the Washington Times, the Wall Street Journal editorial page and conservative talk-radio shows like Rush Limbaugh’s–forms a highly effective right-wing echo chamber where GOP-friendly news stories can be promoted, repeated and amplified. Fox is a stinking den of LIES and innuendo. — [ READ MORE ]

Fox Propaganda = Nazi Propaganda

Nazi propaganda, much of which centered on Jews, consistently alleged to be the source of Germany’s problems. At Fox, the source is IMMIGRANTS, ACORN and President BARACK OBAMA

Nazi propaganda also expressed themes more common among the warring countries: the imminent defeat of their enemies, the need for security, etc. Doctored newsreel footage was also used to garner support for the Nazi cause.

At Fox, Glenn Beck conjures imaginary enemies, while Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly are the co-Ministers of Propaganda and Enlightenment — charged with educating right-wing THUGS about Barack Obama’s “emerging” Fascism, Communism or Socialism.

Rupert Murdoch oversees, while Roger Ailes runs the show, with the help of underlings O’Reilly and co., effectively making Murdoch Fox’s HITLER, and Roger Ailes his deputy — Rudolf Hess.

Similarly, the Rwandese GENOCIDE masterminds conspired together to “work out a plan with intent to exterminate the civilian Tutsi population and eliminate members of the opposition (Cockroaches),” through radio and TV broadcasts.

Bill O’Reilly’s “Vast Left Wing Loons,” are eerily similar to Interahamwe’s Cockroaches. In O’Reilly’s own words, the left-wing loons are intent on breaking the WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE POWER-STRUCTURE, …and consequently America will cease to exist!

O’Reilly’s pontifications are a direct appeal to the “angry” southern white christian male, to rise, and defend the HOMELAND — to keep the “Cradle of the Confederacy” safe from leprosy, pedophiles, Mexicans, ACORN, Barack Obama and rampant godlessness.

At CNN, the King of Xenophobia, Lou Dobbs (Married To A Mexican For 25 Years), is waging a similar war, primarily against Mexican immigrants. Dobbs’s anti-immigrant campaign bears marked resemblance to that conducted against Jews by Dr. Joseph Goebbels — “Minister for Public Enlightenment & Propaganda in Nazi Germany.”

….or when Glenn Beck warns his audience that Obama is planning to, “slowly but surely take away your gun or take away your ability to shoot a gun, carry a gun,” ….the poor, confused, brainwashed, racist and thoroughly un-educated whites in Appalachia, CLING TO THEIR GUNS and tremble in mortal FEAR!!

This kind of falsified and incendiary rhetoric, led to the killing of three police officers in Pittsburgh a few days ago. Richard Poplawski, the man who allegedly murdered the three cops, was clearly influenced by Fox News’s Glenn Beck and right-wing radio.

There are millions more Poplawskis out there — waiting for the order to wipe out the imaginary enemies — immigrants, ACORN, left-wingers, President Obama and Hillary Clinton!

Video: Theoneste Bagosora Being Sentenced To Life By The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, Sitting in Arusha, Tanzania

While criminals like Theoneste Bagosora, a former Rwandese army colonel, plotted and supplied the Interahamwe militia with the weapons with which to carry out the genocide and encouraged others to help carry out the massacres, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly do not need to arm any right-wing NUT-BAG, ….they are already armed to the teeth, thanks to the 2ND AMENDMENT of the United States constitution!

It looks like the FAIRLY RACIST channel is still infected with the BARACKNOPHOBIA VIRUS!

————————————————————————————————————–

What is Baracknophobia?

It is the irrational fear of HOPE a.k.a Barack Obama. Usually refers not to policy differences with Barack Obama but to believing unproven Internet rumors (that he’s a Muslim, that he wants to enslave white people, etc.).

It is the fear of an African-American President. The the irrational fear that behind the mild-mannered facade, Barack Obama is intent on enslaving the white race.

The sickness manifests itself mostly through rumor, often in the form of the only E-mail your grandmother has ever been able to successfully forward.
