[...] Iran and the Threat of Not Having Future Wars February 4th, 2012 shorty « Tell ABC: No More Iran Propaganda [...]
Dear Ms. Sawyer and ABC World News:
The only reasonable inference from the words you read on January 31 and other material your â┚¬Ã…“showâ┚¬Ã‚ offered must be that your network is functioning as a â┚¬Ã…“communication branchâ┚¬Ã‚ of the government of the United States of America.
Hyperbolic rhetoric may be a reasonable tactic to fan the flames of fear, hate and conflict but it will only lead to the loss of human life unnecessarily.
You and ABC World News are not unlike the pre-historic creatures caught in the La Brea Tar Pits. Slowly, most assuredly and inevitably you are sinking from the scene as not longer relevant or credible.
Goodbye.
Sincerely,
dennis hanna
- Putrid war propaganda from Diane Sawyer and Co. at ABC-Disney -
ABC January 31
I've been made aware of your black propaganda report on alleged Iranian threats towards the US.
The laundry list of allegations you reported have been debunked so many times in so many ways.
It never makes a lick of sense.
It's just an insult to everybody's intelligence.
This kind of disgusting jingoist output is an insult to humanity.
Eternal shame on ABC World News and its amoral corporate media ilk, you have brought and continue to bring so much suffering to the world through your ignorance and lies.

To Whom It May Concern:
ABC's January 31 report on Iran merely parroted claims made by government officials regarding the supposed military threat from Iran. ABC thereby failed to do actual journalism, which would have required ABC to challenge those official claims. Journalists should question official rhetoric–not generate propaganda; and ABC's report on Iran was propaganda, not journalism.
I urge ABC to mend its ways and produce (and broadcast) a follow-up report that actually challenges the claims it parroted on January 31.
Sincerely

Leave Iran alone. DETERRENCE WORKS! India and Pakistan have not bombed each other. The US and the USSR did not bomb each other. Iran and Israel will not dare to use nuclear weapons. Israel can still attack their neighbors. Iran will not risk being destroyed.
