According to a report by Yahoo! News’ John Cook, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal -- the second-largest shareholder of Fox News’ parent company News Corp. -- has deep funding ties to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the “principal planner” of the Islamic community center in lower Manhattan.

You’d think that alone would give pause to the screeching heads on Fox News that repeatedly try to tie Rauf “by way of lengthy and often confusing chains of causation and association” to terrorism.

Oh, and it proves that Saudi Arabia is funding the victory ( for Allah ) mosque at Ground Zero.

Vindication, straight up.

I have yet to see any indication that Fox News is more vocal against Islamist extremists. If you mean Fox News is most willing to USE negatives about Islam, Muslims and anyone else they don't like, you're certainly right. If you mean Fox News is most willing to misstate, mischaracterize and actually LIE in order to foster their political agenda and cause dissension when it comes to Islam and Muslims, you're certainly right. But being vocal against Islamist extremists? I've seen it all over the MSM, including cable and MSNBC. On the other hand, I have seen far more effort to understand what is behind terrorism and to separate Islam and Muslims from those who truly ARE terrorists.

This morning, Fox News featured a segment highlighting a right-wing report that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended an Islamic “madrassa” school as a 6-year-old child.

Fact:

Quote:

In his book Dreams Of My Father (p.142), Obama writes:

In Indonesia, I’d spent 2 years at a Muslim school, 2 years at a Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies....Without the money to go to the international school that most expatriate children attended, I went to local Indonesian schools...

NOT an "Islamic madrasss".

Quote:

...the Indonesian school Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa.

http://mediamatters.org/research/200703200011 The Laura Ingraham Show, Monica Crowley falsely asserted that Malik Obama, Sen. Barack Obama's half brother, "went on the record to The Jerusalem Post, of all places, and said, 'Oh yeah, Obama's got a really solid Muslim background.' " (Fact: Hume's claim that Malik Obama told the Post that Sen. Obama had a "Muslim background" is false. Indeed, as ABC News senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported, according to The Jerusalem Post, Malik Obama did not speak directly with the Post but, rather, the article was referring to an interview Malik Obama gave to Israel's Army Radio. Moreover, Tapper wrote that "nowhere in [the interview] does Malik expressly say anything about Obama having a Muslim background," adding, "Malik did not say that or come close to saying that.").

Fox & Friends falsely claimed that congressional Democrats are proposing to raise taxes "only in Republican red states." In fact, the year-old proposal discussed on Fox & Friends would lower taxes on areas with a high cost of living, regardless of how they vote, and would include areas represented by Republicans.

Let’s try the Iraq War, which Fox pushed hard and long with repeated fear-inducing lies:

Quote:

---

March 14: On The Fox Report anchor Shepard Smith reports that Saddam is planning to use flood water as a weapon by blowing up dams and causing severe flood damage. (This was totally untrue.)

March 19: Fox anchor Shepard Smith reports that Iraqis are planning to detonate large stores of napalm buried deep below the earth to scorch coalition forces. (There was no basis for this and it was false)

March 23: The network begins 2 days of unequivocal assertions that a 100-acre facility discovered by coalition forces at An Najaf is a chemical weapons plant. (Weeks later is it briefly conceded that the chemicals definitively detected at the facility were pesticides.)

April 7: Repeated ominous footage of barrels buried in a below-ground shed near Karbala. The implication is that the Iraqi landscape is replete with these types of shelters, all of them brimming with evidence of chemical weapons. (They were agricultural chemicals as well.)

May 16: Special Report with Brit Hume. Muslims, citing Islam's ban of alcohol, are torching liquor stores and threatening their Christian owners. (Fact: Under Saddam's secular regime, Christian names were banned and schools were nationalized, but guns and alcohol were freely available; there was tolerance for Iraq's 1 million Catholic and Protestant Christians.

How about some more? Try these lies put forth by Fox:

Quote:

---

1. There is a clause in a Democratic health bill that provides for death panels

2. Obama's education czar condoned statutory rape

3. 3-in-one lie. The VHA has a death book that 'promotes pulling the plug'. The Bush administration suspended its use. VHA doctors must direct patients to the book.

4. Terrorist fist jab - E.D. Hill apologized for reporting on how others 'in the media' had characterized the Obamas' gesture, when in fact she alone characterized it that way.

5. Obama's first annual budget four times larger than any of Bush's

6. The number of czars are growing under Obama and they have unchecked power

No doubt you won't like the sources, but prove that any of what is noted as a Fox lie was actually TRUE. If you can, which you cannot.

I would suggest not asking people to prove Fox News lies. I could have gone on and on, only I'm not willing to spend any more time on this just to show you how wrong you are.
