Outfoxed

Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
May 26, 2010J_Duncan_Cook rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
Outfoxed is a documentary that takes a look at Fox news channel's claim of "Fair and Balanced" reporting in a very decidedly critical and mocking way. All of the interviews are aimed at making Fox and Rupert Murdoch out to be tyrannical conservative soldiers in a war against free thinking. Simply produced and well edited, this unapologetic crucifixion of the Fox News channel and Murdoch's media empire in general serves to further demonize the already nefarious reputation of this so called news outlet. I enjoyed and agreed with the main points but would have been less alarmed by possible hypocrisy had they included at least one interview in defense of Fox and/or Murdoch. But in what seems just above a slap dash production, I can forgive the one sided presentation for its honesty and up front liberal agenda. The accompanying website at outfoxed.org has up to the minute information on the continuing campaign to sift through the right-wing smokescreen of Fox's fairness and balanced reports.
