Fox News runs faked story on marijuana law

Story printed by Fox News claiming that federal marijuana laws don't cover anything but smuggling is either a deliberate lie or an incompetent error.

According to Fox News, there are no federal penalties for growing marijuana! And California state marijuana cultivation penalties don't care whether you grow two plants or 20,000.
<a href="http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread16513.shtml" target="_blank">http ://cannabisnews.com/news/thread16513.shtml</A>

"And if the drug dealers are unlucky enough to get caught, the penalties are relatively light compared to those faced by cross-border smugglers.

Anyone convicted of smuggling drugs from across the border faces a minimum 10-year federal sentence. But jail time isn't even mandated by California state law.

"It doesn't matter in California if you get caught growing two plants or 20,000 plants," said Eric Wyatt, depute district attorney of Madera County. The punishment in California isn't very severe."

Officials say that people convicted of growing pot in California could be sentenced to 16 months in prison and would probably serve only eight months -- even if they're growing large quantities, according to Dresson.

The facts

* Federal penalties for cultivation of marijuana are every bit as severe as those for smuggling marijuana.
* Federal penalties for cultivation of marijuana allow for life sentences for large scale cultivation. * Several Mexican nationals are already facing federal penalties for marijuana cultivation.
* Prosecutors at the state level routinely turn large scale cultivation cases over to the federal government for prosecution and these people most certainly do serve prison time.

Any national news editor who prints a story claiming federal law does not prohibit something for which there are actually very severe federal penalties, and uses this false claim about the law as a basis for implying that state laws need to be changed is either too incomeptent to be in a position of major responsibility in journalism or is in direct collusion with politicians seeking to change state laws.

In either case, such an editor should resign his job at once. Write Fox News media critic Eric Burns and tell him so.

Fox editor needs to resign now!

The news should be true -- even when it's about marijuana!

by hal crowther

Fox News hits a new lowest common denominator It's the inviolable first rule of democracy that all politicians will praise the wisdom of the people -- an effusive flattery that intensifies when they ask "the people" to swallow something exceptionally inedible. What the people never hear from anyone, or from anyone with further ambitions, is the truth...

But the scariest thing about Fox and Rupert Murdoch, the thing that renders them all fear and no fun in a time of national crisis, is that they channel for the Bush administration as faithfully as if they were on the White House payroll. Like no other substantial media outlet in American history, Fox serves -- voluntarily -- as the propaganda arm of a controversial, manipulative, image-obsessed government. To watch its war coverage for even a minute was to grind your teeth convulsively at each Orwellian repetition of the Newspeak mantra, "Operation Iraqi Freedom." I swear I hate to stoop to Nazi analogies; but if Joseph Goebbels had run his own cable channel, it would have been indistinguishable from Fox News.

Fox's truculent patriotism is misleading, of course. Rupert Murdoch is not exactly an American patriot, he's not even exactly an American. Though he became an American citizen in 1985 (solely to qualify, under US law, as the owner of a TV network), the Australian Murdoch was already 54 and his tabloid formula had already polluted the media mainstreams in Australia and Great Britain. Murdoch is an insatiable parasite, a vampirish lamprey who fastens himself to English-speaking nations and grows fat on their cultural lifeblood, leaving permanently degraded media cultures in his wake. Rabid patriotism is a product he sells, along with celebrity gossip, naked women and smirky bedroom humor, in every country he contaminates. And a little "white rage" racism has always gone into his mix for good measure. ("He tried so hard to use race to sell his newspapers that he became known as "Tar Baby' Murdoch," Jimmy Breslin once charged.)

O'Really?

Excerpts from the book Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti
Italian fascism and German Nazism had their admirers within the U.S. business community and the corporate owned press. Bankers, publishers, and industrialists, including the likes of Henry Ford, traveled to Rome and Berlin to pay homage, receive medals, and strike profitable deals. Many did their utmost to advance the Nazi war effort, sharing military industrial secrets and
engaging in secret transactions with the Nazi government, even after the United States entered the war. During the 1920s and early 1930s, major publications like Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, Saturday Evening Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Christian Science Monitor hailed Mussolini as the man who rescued Italy from anarchy and radicalism.

"Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937. Continued...

"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."
From Benito Mussolini contributing to the "London Sunday Express,"
December 8, 1935

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others."
Harry Anslinger, U.S. Commissioner of Narcotics, testifying to Congress on why marijuana should be made illegal, 1937.
(Marijuana Tax Act, signed Aug. 2, 1937; effective Oct. 1, 1937.)

"Another weapon I discovered early was the power of the printed word to sway souls to me. The newspaper was soon my gun, my flag - a thing with a soul that could mirror my own."
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini together in the heyday of 1930s fascism.

1936: DuPont obtains a patent license to manufacture synthetic "plastic fibers" from German industrial giant I.G. Farben Corporation. The patent license is obtained as part Germany's reparation payments to the United States after World War I. A few years later, I.G. Farben manufactures deadly Zyklon-B gas, used in Nazi death camps to murder millions of Jews (along with many homosexuals and drug users). DuPont owned and financed approximately 30% of Hitler's I.G. Corps, the military-industrial backbone of the fascist Third Reich.

"All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those towards whom it is directed will understand it. Therefore, the intellectual level of the propaganda must be lower the larger the number of people who are to be influenced by it."
