Fox hosts Rep. Myrick to promote CAIR "infiltrat[ion]" attacks without noting anti-Islam source of accusations
October 15, 2009 2:00 pm ET
In a foreword to the CAIR conspiracy book, Myrick called the anti-Islam author "a great American" and went on to warn readers about the "concerted effort on the part of radical Islamists to infiltrate our major institutions."
From the October 15 edition of Fox News' American Newsroom:

Where is the concern that Christian organizations haven't denounced Blackwater?
It's the old "My God can whip your God" dogma. This means that all of our red-blooded, flag-adorned Madrassas with Crosses are okie-dokie.
Crescents bad, crosses good.
As a Christian myself, I'm horrified by Blackwater, and have never supported the idea of private, for-pay soldiery in this country. As logistical support, it still makes me nervous, but never behind the trigger, and for just these kinds of reasons.
I have no fear of muslims, or any other religious group. I do fear zealots, however, and I fear and will fight any religious group that attempts to seize power over this country. This is not a theocracy, of any stripe. Look at what the marriage of conservative Christianity and the Republican Party brought this country to! I understand why the Republicans did it, but it was short sighted and foolish.
All that being said, the media has sadly deteriorated when there are two stories in two days about failure to disclose a guest's agenda. I'm glad for MMfA, and everyone else who keeps an eye on the media, forcing them to be a least a tiny bit honest.
The GOPers had their scripts written for them over fifty years ago. They're in the archives of the right-wing newspapers and the Congressional Record during the red scare witch hunts of the 40's and 50's.
All they'll need to do is replace every "commun" with "Islam" and they can go on spewing their bile just like Tail Gunner Joe.
If Edward R. Murrow came back and saw what is going on at FOX NEWS, he'd never stop throwing up.
