Fox Ramping Up Obama Smear Headlines

This headline has been up at FoxNation.com for hours:

Click on it and you get this:

When sermons of Obama’s Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obama’s campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, “Goddamn America!” Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obama’s team tried to buy his silence.

‘Man, the media ate me alive,” Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago’s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. “After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”

“Who sent the e-mail?” I asked Wright.

“It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”

Was the “closest friend” an official member of the “Obama campaign?” It doesn’t say.

Finally Fox changed the headline (after the damage had been done):

When I say the damage had been done, check out this headline, from Rupert Murdoch’s UK rag, the Daily Mail:

Read the accompanying article here. Nowhere does it say any money actually changed hands.

Expect more of this crap between now and November. All of a sudden “blockbuster” books will be released saying just about anything and crap “news” organizations like Murdoch’s will send juicy excerpts flying around the world without doing any fact checking. It’s called propaganda and these people are all in it together. A good rule of thump is if Fox or the Daily Mail or Drudge are against something, you might want to be for it because the Murdock crowd has nobody’s interest at heart other than their on and it’s all about money.

Oh, and do a little research on the authors of these books. The author of this one about Obama is Edward Klein. I found this on his Wikipedia page: “Klein’s books have been dismissed by academics and journalists as ‘not only psychobabble’, but ‘psychoblarney.’”
