Obama; FOX

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films calls attention to what appears to be a concerted effort on the part of Fox "News" Channel to smear Barack Obama.

On the Huffington Post, Greenwald articulates his reasons for making this video.

If you are thinking, 'why bother? Who cares? No one believes or listens to what FOX says,' I have two words for you -- Swift Boat. Keeping the Swift Boaters alive was FOX's main contribution to the 2004 elections. FOX's bias does not just reach those who knowingly tune in to the likes of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. Other media become influenced by and pick up stories from FOX. Thus, the bias spreads like a cancer -- destroying honest news coverage.

Greenwald says Fox "News" must not be allowed to continue to pretend that it is a legitimate source of news.

Hear, hear!
