Protest Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly in San Francisco!

PROTEST FOX NEWS CHANNEL'S BILL O'REILLY IN SAN FRANCISCO!

Thursday, November 20, 6 PM
Masonic Auditorium, California and Taylor Streets, San Francisco*

Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, king of misinformation, propagandist for the Bush administration, cheerleader for war and occupation, is coming to San Francisco! Let's give him a San Francisco welcome and ask him for an apology: O'Reilly said he would apologize to the nation and never trust the Bush administration again if weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq.** Why has O'Reilly not apologized yet? Perhaps it's because people who watch Fox News have been led to believe that weapons of mass destruction have been found. 80% of people whose primary news source is Fox News believe at least one of the following misperceptions: weapons of mass destruction
have been found in Iraq; Saddam Hussein was directly linked to the 9/11 attacks; world public opinion supported the U.S. attack on Iraq. (University of Maryland Program on International Policy poll of 3,334, Oct. 2, 2003)

TAKE ACTION! Protest Fox News' misleading coverage of the war against Iraq and demand that Bill O'Reilly keep his promise to "apologize to the nation" and to declare that he will "not trust the Bush Administration again".

**"If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean [of weapons of mass destruction], he has nothing, I will apologize to the
nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again." (Fox's Bill O'Reilly on Good Morning America, March 18, 2003)

As long as Rupert Murdoch and his assoicates make money, his right wing agenda will continue expanding. Why boycott the Fox News ONLY?

What about the Simpsons and Futurama? I mean, If our enemies make money selling our propaganda it's kind of a mixxed bag, isn't it?

The demonstration against O'Reilly is the perfect launching pad for a march against the FTAA. The major demonstrations begin in MIami that day and we could march in solidarity to educate some of the FTAA lovers in town.

"If our enemies make money selling our propaganda it's kind of a mixxed bag, isn't it?"

X, You're only the first feeling confused. Grandpa Bush felt the same way "Laundering money for Hitler would be the same kinda of business as any other... All I care is to make money."

Aren't we "proud" to see another Grandpa Bush Think Alike? The right wing radicals sure seem to find a way to inbreed more of their alikes. Miracles from Monsanto?

Because many of us understand that American television --particularly "news" channels-- are corporate propaganda maliciously tailored to manilpulate the U.S. public, perhaps the best way to protest Fox and figureheads like O'Reilly is to simply TURN IT OFF.

It's a radical process, but I'm certain that we are capable of living happily without the technology that teaches non-thinking.
