Buy This Item Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism by The Disinformation Company  Available from Amazon  $9.95  on 11-27-2008     "Fair and balanced"??? How about anything BUT?!?! For the first time ever, this documentary reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it's like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a "right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said "There's no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can't be crossed." <P>"Outfoxed" examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know. <P>"Outfoxed" first examines media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the Australian company, News Corp., tracing how the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) helped Murdoch break the rules to establish a fourth network in the United States. The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. <P>Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR), Bob McChesney and Chellie Pingree, provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society. <P>The team behind "Outfoxed" created a system to monitor Fox News 24 hours a day for months to discover exactly how its shows worked. A team of volunteers around the country scrutinized every hour of Fox News programming, noting examples of bias in its coverage. The result is an intense examination of Fox News and the lie inherent in its favorite motto: "Fair and Balanced." Reader Reviews Outfoxed really hits the spot when it comes to exposing the corruption at Fox News. As has been pointed out by some of the other viewers, nearly all of the media in the United States is biased, lazy and scandalous. Even most small town newspapers are owned by conglomerates from far away big cities. Outfoxed shows not only how bad Fox News itself is, but also how the creation of Fox News took a bad situation and made it many times worse. Calling it "The Fox Effect", other station staffers tell how they have noticed changes at their stations based on things Fox News has done and why those changes are bad for the American public. Outfoxed is chock full of people current and former Fox staffers who went on the record to tell the story of how their employer makes them lie for the cameras. Outfoxed shows exactly how Fox News gives the not-often used, journalism insider term "Managed News" a whole new meaning. This DVD comes highly recommended.
