From the Styx by Peggy Tibbetts

Without further delay – or further doubt – the July Newspeak Award belongs to Fox News for World War 3 – or World War III. Sharing the award are Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly (Worst Person in the World), and John Gibson.

A recent CBS Survey USA poll found:

Forty-two percent believe we are headed towards World War III, while 35 percent believe the world is no more dangerous than usual. Eighteen percent believe that World War III has already begun.

Go to Google News and enter “World War III”. You’ll find nearly 2,000 results among recent new stories.

You gotta hand it to the boys at Fox News. Mission accomplished. They planted the seed. World War 3 is catching on – in the media.

It’s still up to us to reject the path the Bush Administration and the media are forcing upon us.

“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”
– Dwight David Eisenhower (34th President 1953-61)
