Guerrilla Filmmaking Group Fights Anti-Obama Virus

Translate Into:

Left-leaning Brave New Films on Friday launched a viral video campaign that seeks to diminish Fox News' influence on the rest of the political news media (good luck!)

The four minute video airs footage of Fox News reports that compare senator Barack Obama to Chairman Mao, and radio commentary comparing him to Hitler. It also shows how some of the controversial commentary makes its way into other popular news outlets.

In an e-mail blast, the group's founder Robert Greenwald asks supporters to sign a petition that he says he plans on sending to news rooms chiefs. He wants the rest of the media to stop following Fox's lead.

This video is the latest in a series that Brave New Films has made over the past few months. The series is called Fox Attacks!      

My question: Can we get through an election without any over-the-top references to Hitler? It seems that Godwin's Law applies just as much to presidential elections these days as they do to online discussions.
