Thanks for your terrific work in making sure our short video, The Real McCain, spread far and wide. Many of you forwarded TheRealMcCain.com to friends, relatives, uninformed McCain supporters and others. Combined with the 360 blogs who linked to it (YAY TO THE NETROOTS!), more than 250,000 unique visitors have seen the video. And while we would never take direct credit, McCain's poll numbers are falling at a fierce rate!
In the same way many of you have used Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price and Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers, the short McCain piece has been an effective tool for setting the record straight -- and changing minds.
And now Brave New Films is excited to launch FoxAttacks.com!
Fox Attacks is a campaign that offers you real tools to DO SOMETHING other than throw things at the TV. Join us in forcing Fox to stop serving as a mouthpiece for the right wing's agenda. We at Brave New Films have been as shocked and outraged as you have at their consistent misuse and abuse of the term "news." Fox is not a legitimate news channel. They are a dangerous element in our democracy: dangerous in the way they influence other media, dangerous in the way they force stories into the mainstream without any evidence, dangerous in the effect they have on their viewers. But, just being furious is not enough.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Join us now by watching and sharing FOX ATTACKS: OBAMA, the first of a series of short videos designed to challenge Fox. Then, channel your outrage with the tools at FoxAttacks.com. You can start by SIGNING THE PETITION asking the Democratic Party of Nevada not to partner with Fox on the first Democratic debate this coming August. Then CONFRONT THE ADVERTISERS whose ad dollars pay Fox to do the damage they do. Help us build our long-term campaign to inform the advertisers that their brands are being associated with dangerous propaganda. Go to FoxAttacks.com to get the tools you need to hit Fox where it hurts: their pocket books.
Fox's role as an attack dog for the right has to stop, and we have to start now.

P.S. Click here to give us your ideas about what else we all can be doing to expose and correct the Fox News distortions.
I agree, but again this is really not surprising coming from Fox News. Mainstream media in America overall is just eating it up. Try BBC or canadian news...now we're talking fair, balanced, and covering both sides of the spectrum.
Wow, Robert Greenwald, you have really outdone yourself on this one. When will you realize that propagandizing people is wrong? You say you want the truth, yet you lie like a rug. Barack Hussein Obama, is just as filthy as you, but neither of you are as filthy as Hillary.
Count me in. I've long since blogged about FOX(faux) NEWS and it's incessant distorted Jim Joneslike cult members mentality. I get my stuff out on my three blogs that are linked to each other which gives me great pleasure. Knowing I am not the only one who sees these people as I do is comforting.However, knowing they have a cult following of millions is scary though. Does Fox have some kind of subliminal messages behind it's news screen or something? Maybe a hypnotic trance Psych Ops used by the NeoConartists?How can millions of people be so sheepoled? They are BAAAAA......D.... Anyhow...that's just me wondering about the selfsame things millions of others wonder about too. We're all out here trying to get our 2 cents in when we can. I think we have an unofficial club now and Keith O is our leader.
