Fox News Resurrects ‘Path to 9/11’ PropagandaPosted on Jan 26, 2007Fox News intends to broadcast unaired footage from ABC’s propagandistic miniseries “The Path to 9/11.” The scene in question, which suggested that Sandy Berger rejected a proposal to assassinate Osama bin Laden, was toned down after the series’ wild inaccuracies and political motivations led to a national firestorm.

Answer to #49960 - Spinoza
NEVER - American’s are too apathetic to make a move off the Sofa to answer the door for the Pizza Delivery, let alone do something about a scary fascist regime. For God sake that would require some physical excertion, puff puff!

Poor Roger Ailes, reality has not been working for him or the administration. So to distract the “followers” they turn historical, and dig up Clinton yet again! LOL
A sign of desperation.....Katrina , and Iraq lies, Cheney ,all the hypocrisy ...
All are now heading home to roost. and those eggs can’t hatch… they were rotten just take a whiff
So change the subject...Laughable!
Poor Roger, “Radio Free Entire World” still broadcasts. And Fox followers are free to take a reality break…
Time Roger to take your followers into the compound bunker and cover their ears and eyes!
“Mission Accomplished?” right?
Fox viewers?....Beware O’Reilly and Hannity serving Kool-Aid. The taste is very bitter, and one has to suspend belief in reality and independent thought, with each brainwashing swallow....
Don’t be a Lemming....following the leader straight off the cliff.

Save yourselves!...and you’ve come to the “right” place...We love you...and pray for your recovery.

FOR SALE: ONE G.W. BUSH DOLL ( The original model, made from carbon, blood and laundered money)
This doll will run in circles, keep sputtering lie after lie, then fall on it’s face and point at the Clinton Doll.
NOTE: The Ted Haggard battery pack that fits in a convenient rear entry port on the doll, is extra.

Just because FoxNews, as sh##ty as it is, presents something, doesn’t mean there is no grain of truth in it.
Report thisIt is a public knowledge that Berger has stolen some documents ( presumably, destroyed them) before leaving the WH.
It is also pretty well known that Clinton has been matey with Moujahadins whom he has introduced more or less surreptitiously, to Bosnia to fight those nasty communistic Serbs. What is also very well known, outside the U.S. is, that Osama Bin Laden was the main supply agent for these fighters.
So, there is nothing surprising that poor Berger would want to destroy this most embarassing evidence which could sprinkle mud on the legacy of Clintons (God protect Hillary from Islamofascism!)
Americans have to learn that the Truth is something independent of Republican-Democrat petty squables.
Granted, from the American black hole news media this is very difficult to see.

MORE REPUBLICAN LIES WON’T SUDDENLY TURN YOUR TWISTED PROPAGANDA TO TRUTH. THIS IS NOT SUBLIMINAL SUGGESTION, THAT IF YOU REPEAT IT ENOUGH, IT WILL BECOME “TRUE.” IT IS TRASH.

As the saying goes, “You can’t keep a good lie down!” (even if there is something slightly oxymoronic about “good lie")! Unless I am mistaken, Harry Truman was the one who referred to this phenomenon as “The Big Lie.” Unfortunately, there is a lesson to be learned here; and it is not a particularly cheerful one. I call it: THE DARK SIDE OF NARRATIVE.
For many years I have been researching the hypothesis that we understand things better when they are presented as narrative, rather than in more objective forms, such as structured argument or flat expository prose. Jerome Bruner’s ACTS OF MEANING has this great summarizing passage that concludes, “what does NOT get structured narratively suffers loss in memory.” This is usually a good thing, but what happens when an institution masters the art of deliberate deception through narrative structure? As Emery Roe has demonstrated in NARRATIVE POLICY ANALYSIS, such narratives are tenaciously impervious to refutation by mere facts, evidence, and reasoning. As a matter of fact, Roe’s conclusion is that the only way you can undermine such a narrative is with a COUNTERnarrative. (I would suspect that most Truthdig readers will quickly recognize the way in which this strategy has been deployed by the “intelligent design” crowd.)
The good news is that counternarratives are being deployed. Look at the sort of Iraq documentaries that got Oscar nominations. Getting them DISTRIBUTED, on the other hand, is still a problem, particularly when the Fox pulpit is the biggest bully in the media business! Still, it was nice to see that counternarrative was part of Jim Webb’s rhetorical toolbox; so he may be “showing the way” in more ways than one!

My ex girlfriend read THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER for years. She would assault mee over the breakfast table with their latest outrage. She continually informed me that “This yellow rag knows not the meaning of truth”
BUT
she still purchased it regularly.
Fox news is TV’s answer to the Sun, Globe, and Enquirer. It outrages those who wish outrage as part of their lives. Entertaining, but without credibility.
Daniel Webster opined;
“There is nothing so powerful as the truth”
So maybe those out there whining about FOX should start a powerful NEWS outlet
I won’t hold my breath.

If the clinton’s hate it it is the truth. Period. The cigar inserting perp, er, president had many chances to talk out bin laden but chose not to. Now the country pays the price and he (clinton) does not want the truth to be told. Thank goodness for Fox News. The truth will set you free and maybe put the perp, er, ex-president behind bars.

More phony and twisted intelligence information that has marked the Bush administration and their neocon cronies since the beginning.
They use sophisticated psychological methods, including various media, to spin their lies.

Unfortunately the republicans can’t name one thing that’s better today than it was six years ago. It doesn’t seem possible that something good didn’t happen by accident. The booming economy is not booming. The screwups multiply like rabbits. I’m not at all suprised that they’re back attacking Clinton. Eventually they have to run out of stuff. I hope.

When will the American people wake up and realise that Fascism has taken over and we should do something about it.
