Fox News Marijuana Straw Man on Legalization?

submitted by GetHigh.com on 11/18/13 1

125+ MORE examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D With a kind of marijuana legalization on the ballot in California as Proposition 19 this November, it's not surprising to see our friends at Fox picking up the pace on the marijuana misinformation in a series called "Going to Pot" that included a segment rebutting a straw man argument for marijuana legalization with a very weak anti-legalization argument and went on to spread a series of anti-marijuana myths while purporting to debunk pro-legalization "myths" as I show in this video. The clips I use of Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade interviewing Bishop Ron Allen come from a segment on the Fox News program "Fox and Friends" broadcast on August 28, 2010, which is available online at www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH5vCiUO5Cs The image I use of my July 2007 video titled "Fox News Gets Reefer Madness Over So-Called Killer Marijuana" comes from the YouTube player page at www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcPF59CoGvs The images I use of "Yes on 19" information on California marijuana arrests come from the webpage at yeson19.com/node/97 The charts I use of showing racial discrimination in California marijuana arrests come from the Drug Policy Alliance webpage at www.drugpolicy.org/docUploads/Targeting_Blacks_for_Marijuana_06_29_10.pdf And, finally, the fact sheet I show debunking marijuana myths about being overly potent and a "gateway drug" comes from the Drug Policy Alliance webpage at drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths
