Russell Brand Creates Viral Video Blasting Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro: Calls Fox News "fanatical terrorist propaganda organization" Fox Says 'Arthur' Actor Should Be Decapitated [VIDEO]

Comedian Russell Brand has always had a big chip on his shoulder about peace, the generation of perception in media, and abuses of public trust by said media. This week Russell Brand took a big swing at the largest partisan news organization, Fox News, calling them a "fanatical terrorist propaganda organization" during a ten minute video, interspersed with clips with remarks from Jeanine Pirro vehemently proclaiming a need for U.S. military intervention in Iraq. Watch here.

The 39-year-old British stand-up comic-turned-actor uploaded the video to his personal YouTube channel on Tuesday this week under the title "Is Fox News More Dangerous than Isis?" The video has since gone viral.

Brand responded with outrage to remarks made by Fox host Jeanine Pirro, a former prosecutor. During a broadcast of her program last weekend she said that the United States should bomb Iraq again and again and once more for good measure, in order to eliminate the growing insurgency there that has cause an international crisis.

"When they do these bombings, it creates more insurgents, that's what creates them," Brand responded."Don't think of a bomb as going down there and destroying stuff, think of it as like a seed that goes into the ground, and grows insurgents out of it, it creates more terrorism, doing 

From there, Brand continued to counter Pirro's claims point by point, by juxtaposing clips with his own responses. When the Fox host said that any agreement reached between the US and Iran to remediate the insurgency would be on par with cutting "a deal with the devil," Brand blasted her for alleging as much.

At one point, Pirro says during the episode that the group credited with the recent string of attacks across Iraq, ISIS, is a "fanatical religious terrorist organization."

"So is Fox News," Brand fired back. "It's a fanatical terrorist propagandist organization. This isn't reasonable, is it? Like the way she's talking? 'Bomb them! Bomb them!' She's worse ... She's the savage, she's totally espousing savage values."

"It's invective, just incendiary language, just volatile combative, angry language. That - I'm not being sensational - that is more dangerous than ISIS," he added. "That's attitude. That's far-reaching. That's affecting millions and millions of people."

SomeFox commentators, naturally came to Pirro's defense as Brand's remarks began to go viral.

"If he feels that ISIS is harmless, he should go there and hang out with them. They would behead him faster than you could say Arthur. His worst movie," Greg Gutfeld responded during a recent episode of Fox's The Five program.
