Filmmaker Robert Greenwald has made a documentary detailing how the Bush administration misled Americans into accepting the first preemptive war in American history. The movie was supported by the Center for American Progress(watch the trailer for the film here) and Moveon.org, and you can purchase the video at truthuncovered.org.
Howard Kurtz from The Washington Post is reporting that, "All the networks gave Greenwald permission to use interview footage -- except for Fox News, which would not grant approval for two excerpts involving national security adviser Condoleezza Rice." Greenwald's reaction to the Fox News snub was, "I'm not a conspiracy theorist," but maybe they are "trying to protect her."
What was Fox News' reaction to not giving Greenwald permission to use these clips? "I never heard of him. It could have been some fly-by-night organization for all I know." That was what Fox Vice President, Dianne Brandi, said about Greenwald. Well, a simple Google search will show that Greenwald has directed eight mainstream Hollywood movies.(Read his filmography here.) So, it is clear that the reason Fox News didn't give permission to Greenwald wasn't because they had never heard of him. If they had taken a second to find out who he was, they would have known he wasn't just some hack(even though he did direct "Xanadu"). They just were not going to allow any of their footage to be used by a documentarian that they knew was anti-war.
I wish all those uptight, blood-thirsty warmongers over at Fox News could just take a break from salivating over the war they help promote, and watch "Xanadu". Perhaps, watching Olivia Newton-John, circa 1980, in her roller skates would dislodge whatever is stuck up their asses.
