'Sh*t Erin Says' about Iran: We're not going to let you drive us into another senseless war in the Middle East

On another special Media Watch, CNN’s Erin Burnett has night after night reported that Iran is inherently dangerous. Seven out of 10 Americans believe Iran has nuclear weapons, Cenk says. “Why do you think they think that? Because when they turn on CNN and all these networks, they see ballistic missiles. They see Ahmadinejad in a lab coat. They hear that Iran is being so aggressive, they must have nuclear weapons. Just like Saddam must have had weapons of mass destruction. I’ve got words for the mainstream media. You are grossly deceiving people, and we’re not going to let you get away with it this time. We’re not going to let you drive this country into another senseless war in the Middle East with your lies and your propaganda.”

Watch the video and then share your opinion. Can you see where the media is using fear-mongering once again? Despite the facts which say otherwise, over 70% of American believe Iran has nuclear weapons! Can you see how network news may have given them that idea, even though there is no evidence to support it?

One week ago, Erin had a lady guest, obviously speaking for the executive branch. 1) No army nor marines are going to set foot into Iran. (WE do not have any available) 2) This will be a min-war.

I imagine a mini-war means we spend less than 1 billion dollars a day. /s

I am so darn happy that our army ain't goin in, I am thinking of having a hershey bar party!

I also suspect that the word that stopped Jimmy Carter from a 5 division amphibious invasion in summer of 1980 is still in effect. That word came from Russia, who said, "you have our northern border (arctic submarines) you have our western border (Bavaria) and our eastern border (US Navy fleets in Pacific), you may not have our southern border."

I hope not. However, war (empire building) is the #1 business in the US and lies and propaganda have been widely successful in making it so.

Here's another story you should look at. AIPAC Declares War

That's scary too.
