Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films offers the latest in their FOX Attacks series.
In March we all took on Fox and we beat them. Bad. The Nevada Fox-sponsored presidential debates were cancelled when our videos showing Fox’s distortions were spread far and wide. Local bloggers worked like crazy, activists around the country wrote and called, and MoveOn used their strategic strength and smarts to bring it all home.
Now Fox is at it again. The only surprise this time is the amount of time and energy they are putting into denying that the sun sets in the west. Okay, well not exactly, but pretty close. They are fighting the scientific truth of the climate crisis and are claiming it just isn’t so! I’m not kidding. Take a look at the video evidence, you won’t believe what you see. (Well, maybe you will)

What kind of frequency does their broadcast use?
Is it time to sic Tom Cruise or Will Smith after them?
“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.”
From “The First Global Revolution” by The Club of Rome, 1991, Pantheon Books
Global warming is a reality. That it’s a man-made phenomenon is, to say the least, far from proven. When it’s pushed by socially manipulative think tanks such as the above, whose members include Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and Mikhail Gorbechev, we would do well to think twice before reporting it as fact.
That aside, I enjoy your site!
foKKKs noise lies, yet again! Where do I sign up, again?
What the flying fuck do Queen Beatrix and Mikhail Gorbechev have to do with any fucking thing?
But does anyone actually watch Fox and do you think that those three people in Utah (who watch everyday) can actually be convinced of anything new.
Seriously the people watching Fox for news are not likely open to new ideas. they jsut want to hear what they believe.
The sun! Fuck… of course… the SUN! [hits forehead]
Frank, stop and think for a minute. the earth’s climate does indeed go through a constant cycle of REGULAR variation. On this we all agree. But here’s the rub. Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere used to be relatively constant. Living things grow and die, and their carbon components are slowly released into the environment. Along comes the industrial revolution, and for the last 150 years, the remains of every living organism for the last 75 million years is being dug up and burned for fuel. That’s dumping 75 million years of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the span of only 150 years. Do you think that might have an effect on the world’s climate?
New Fox News slogan:
“Distorted by ASSHOLES, reported by ASSHOLES, watched by ASSHOLES”.
No wonder the White House is destroying e-mails, documents and stone walling any type of investigation.
This pandora’s box extends beyond just the war. It likely extends into Administration defacto control of parts of the media of this country.
Why else would the scum of the earth like Rupert Murdoch be carrying the water for these criminals.
frank verismo @ 3:
Why don’t you get facts from scientists, who, without exception, said that global warming is real and with few exceptions agreed that man’s activities were major contributors to the problem.
using famous names and specious arguments to claim something is ‘far from proven’ is pretty illogical and rather pathetic!
The facts ARE in.
OMG…
When 99.9% of the climate scientists that have dedicated their lives to studying climate change put a report out with the IPCC….
Are you global warming deniers the gambling type? If so…how much do you owe? Why do you want us to join in your death wish? We won’t let you take us with you…
These are the kind of folks that would’ve thought the Inquisition wasn’t so bad…
I’m sorry…you can ’site’ the incredibly small number of dissenters out there who don’t think ‘man made contributions are at fault’….but your skepticism…could kill you…think about that….
Better to err on the safe side…then the 99.9% probably dead side…don’t you think??
What is their point? Why are they fighting the idea of global warming? Is it just that anything the left says must be proven wrong by them? Jesus, they must be a miserable lot.
What is the f**king benefit to Faux of spreading this bullsh*t, other than to fondle bush’s tiny chickenhawk balls?
“Fair and Balanced” my ass!
I wonder how they’ll spin their position in 10 or 20 years? By 2020 the truth of Global Warming will be crystal clear. Maybe people like me who believe in Global Warming and understand the science behind it will look foolish. More likely though, the Nay-Sayers will look like idiots, and their statements will all be on tape for their grandchildren to see in their history and science classes.
Republicans: The 1% doctrine is a guideline for invading foreign countries and setting up endless quagmires, death and destruction.
Republicans: Global Warming Climate Change, which if true could kill hundreds of millions and flood coastal cities, must be proven 100% before we do anything.
Love that wingnut logic at work. Take action if 1% chance of WMD threat, even if no evidence exists. Do nothing on an issue 99.9% of scientists agree is happening because it isn’t “proven” yet.
Democrats who guest on FOX support FOX and it’s propaganda and division of Americans and damage to America.

Because over the last 20 years, between consolidation of industry, growth in equity investments, ALL companies are connected at the hip to one another…and ALL industry is driven by energy…and geee…just what industry does the Bush cabal draw its family money from?
This really isn’t hard to understand. It’s about business…it’s about stock market growth…its about keeping the rich rich.
If there is a fundamental change in view on global warming…if a REAL decision was made on a global level to move away from fossil fuels, what are the implications? It extends beyond the automobile and all the cottage industries that surround it. It represents a fundamental shift in the corporate balance of power. Its probably not a good analogy, but lets look at the last “new” industry. Computers and the Internet. Yes, millionaires were created by large established communication and technology companies buying up “small” independents, but in the big scheme of things…has progress suffered? I would say YES. Has the web become what it REALLY should have been. Even with its so-called “independence”, the WWW has been under attack for 10 years. And those attacks have stunted its growth in the U.S.
Big business is connected at the hip to energy, and they will not allow ANYTHING that negatively impacts on stock prices. They will lie, cheat and steal to maintain the status quo. That is what the attack on global warming is about, maintaining the status quo. There’s alot of money invested in the Iraq War. Lots of people are making money from it. Do you think anyone wants ANYTHING to upset that. What would happen if people started to view global warming as a REAL issue and made the connection that fossil fuels are BAD, and we should be weaning off of them. The whole Iraq War, the bases, the infrastrucutre built around policy in an area of total political and religious unrest looks like an even BIGGER clusterfuck than it already is.
No Kidding. Fox attacks the environment?
Wasn’t it was the Great Communicator who in 1980 campaigned saying that trees caused more pollution than cars?
Inhofe is mental. I swear he is. No one can lie the way he does with a straight face. I think the bastard believes what he says and that is one frightening thought.
I could post all the articles, all the links, all the times I’ve posted about this topic…
Fact - You can’t breathe your money, eat your money, or use paper currency as means to defend yourself from a biosphere gone to hell…
In this ‘debate’ you’re in one of two groups…
1) The kind that gives a damn about the future, wants to move this country into the 21st Century, lead the world in renewable, sustainable energy sources, American Energy Independence freeing us from a finite resource past its peak, cancer causing pollution, and dependence on terrorist supporting evil monarchies in the Middle East.
2) Pollution denying, future screwing, Oil funding terrorism apathetic, Big Oil apologists, global warming indifferent, general science denying hypocrites that want this country married to a finite resource nearing extinction…setting the economy up for absolute devastation (scale of which will be mindblowing)…
There is no middle ground, there is no ‘in between’….this isn’t ‘you’re either with us or against us’…..this is planetary extinction kicking your door down and spitting in your face…
It is very odd to see so many corporations now admitting that global warming is a problem and changing practices AND THEN see Rupert Murdoch agree… While Steve Milloy still has his all-access vip ticket to FOX studios to spread his bs.
This is one of those issues where the gop is having a message melt-down. The grassroots global warming haters are still going strong but they are having trouble at the top. It might be that the ownership of FOX believes global warming is a threat but know that the yahoos who tune in dont. And yahoos buy foozles so….

Yeah! That’s what makes him a good republican!
Oops is not something you want to say about Global Warming in 20 years if you find out that you could have done something about it now. What’s wrong with cleaning up our act now? The obvious health benefits would be worth the effort even if it turns out we were wrong about Global Warming. Maybe the only benefit of cleaning up will be air we can breathe, water we can drink and food we can eat.

Surely Sierra knows Home Depot is a huge military supplier, right? Like asking Cheney to sign a petition to stop the war. Think it’s called ‘aiming your efforts’.

Ok, there is global warming. Now how many of you want to give up
all your cars and everything that the evil,capitalistic, industrialized
United States brings to you everyday of your bitching lifes?
The sun! Fuck… of course… the SUN! [hits forehead]*******************************************
The sun has been ruled out as a source of global warming by solar astronomers. The other planets are warming also argument has also been debunked by astronomers. Just thr tiniest amount of research on sites such as SOHO or even National Geographic would tell you that. The fact that you don’t know the truth shows that you don’t want to know the truth.
The message from Rupert Morlock is clear, there will be winners and loosers.
The winners(morlocks) of the world will rule, and the loosers(eloi) will taste much better with an onion stuffing and greens.

We don’t have to give up cars. Only the internal combustion engine…a piece of technology literally UNCHANGED since its conception.

Technically, the theory of gravity, evolution and helio-centric orbits have yet to be “proven” regardless of the overwhelming evidence in support, [deleted].
We have core samples from Antarctica of environmental conditions dating back to the last 700 years and they show conclusively that the environment has changed, especially in the past 150 years.
All your bullshit suggests that while you conveniently admit to the existence of something so glaringly obvious, you refuse to take any responsibility for your own actions in helping to fix the problem. When are you conservative parasites going to grow up and realize that “personal responsibility” does NOT begin and end with personal greed.

Murdoch To Push Climate Change Propaganda
I guess that makes the environment the chicken coop.
So how do they get these figures. Do they have surveillance chips built into our TV sets or something these days?
NEW YORK - Nineteen million people tuned in to watch the Live Earth concerts on NBC and cable channels affiliated with the network, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The total audience of 18.995 million includes viewers who watched at least six minutes of the telecasts on NBC, CNBC, Telemundo, the Sundance Channel, Bravo, MSNBC and Universal HD.
NBC’s Saturday-evening telecast — which featured three hours of highlights from the 24-hour global concert series to raise awareness of climate change — captured 2.7 million viewers. The event was also broadcast online at LiveEarth.MSN.com and on XM satellite radio.
Organizers for Live Earth, backed by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, were hoping live broadcasts on cable television and the Internet would reach up to 2 billion people. Concerts were held in London; Sydney, Australia; Tokyo; Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Hamburg, Germany; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and New Jersey and Washington.
Live Earth will send proceeds to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit organization chaired by Gore. Figures for the money raised will be available later in the week.

No, he just has lead poisoning.
He’s also employing a tired device called False-Choice dilemma.
The call is for domestic, clean, renewable energy, not no energy at all.
Gawd, I’m tired.
