Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism is out on DVD now. It is available everywhere!

NEWS IS A BUSINESS - AND THERE IS MONEY IN THE FLAG!!!

"Fahrenheit 9/11" angered most conservatives before they'd even seen it.

"Outfoxed" doesn't arrive with the same hype and fanfare of Michael Moore's incendiary documentary blockbuster, but it is equally shocking, effective and almost as funny.

I think it would be hard for even the most avid Fox News enthusiast to hide their embarrassment after watching this film.

"Outfoxed" is a montage of self-incriminating footage from the most biased news source in the world. There are interviews with tons of former Fox News employees, from anchors to producers, all of whom expose the inner workings of Rupert Murdoch's masquerade.

There are hilarious moments in this film, like the montage where Bill O'Reilly claims on air that he only ever said "shut up" to one guest in 6 years and then we see dozens of examples of him telling guests to shut up, including a family member of a victim from September 11th.

The interview with Jeremy Glick was utterly depraved on O'Reilly's part, as was the incessant nature with which he lied about it afterward. O'Reilly and all of his fanatical followers will be ashamed after they see the breakdown of that interview in this film.

Another montage exposes the "Some people say..." technique which they have mastered to substitute for journalism. It is a phrase that cannot be proved wrong in a court of law and so they use it instead of sourcing actual material. Fox News uses the phrase "Some people say..." hundreds of times a week!!!

"Outfoxed" also details the memoranda that was sent out to all employees every morning citing what they should and should not focus on... a virtual theme of the day coming directly from the White House!!!

No honest person can watch this film and claim that this is not damning evidence

This film doesn't have the "filmmaking" brilliance of F911, but it is probably more believable to the right-wingers. It is virtually impossible to dispute the facts from this film.

Fox News "PANDERS TO FEAR". They spread fear to retain their audience and impart their skewed point of view. And that notion is trickled down directly from the current administration.

This film highlights all of the unfair and imbalanced practices of the news channel who blatantly lies about their fair and balanced approach every chance they get.

THIS IS A GREAT DOCUMENTARY THAT SHOULD NOT BE MISSED!!!

**********

AMAZING STATS...

16% of all Americans incorrectly believe that the US found links between Iraq and al-Qaeda. But that number balloons to 67% for Fox News viewers. Even Bush and Cheney have admitted there were no ties and yet Fox viewers are utterly confused about the facts.

When asked whether the World favors the US invasion of Iraq, 5% of Americans said YES. 35% of Fox News viewers say YES.

33% of Fox News viewers believe we have found WMD in Iraq despite the fact that we have not. That number is 3 times the national average!!!

Richard Propes' Comment

I am, without a doubt, an extreme Michael Moore fan...I'd border on being a devotee...for me, this film should be effective with all those who are turned off by Moore's methods...for those who believe that Moore manipulates and focuses more on presentation...this film presents similar kinds of truths but in a more straightforward, factual way. Together, "Fahrenheit 9/11" and this film would be the perfect double bill.
