    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."
    "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.

    "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.

    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."

    While I do agree that Fox News is the most biased and totally worthless piece of garbage on television, I also noted that Outfoxed was sponsered by moveon.org, another biased organization. Although moveon.org and Fox are separate animals, they are both propoganda machines for their respective positions.

    Amen, sirius.

    And who is going to expose the other networks for their liberal spin?

    yes moveon.org is behind this and fox has clearly shown how this"film" has been edited to produce the desired results.Maybe they should take on CNN, and some of the others? Fox has a right to broadcst and simply b/c they don't put the same liberal spin on stuff, does not make them a bad news station. I used to watch CNN until the blatant anti american bias made me sick. I swithced to fox and will continue . All the others channels are bashing Bush, nice to see it balance out.freedom of speech and all, u know?

    I sometimes watch Fox & Friends in the morning, and what always strikes me is the ill look on the faces of Steve Doocy, E.D. Hill and Brian Kilmeade when they have to say something so obviously slanted and biased that even they don't believe what they are saying. Funny stuff.

    Bill O'Reilly spins more than a DJ at a rave. He should call it "The Mo' Spin Zone" and his catch phrase should be "the spin starts here".

    Don't get me started on that idiot, Mancow. That moron does nothing but spout idiotic crap. When he does his little spot on Fox & Friends each morning, he makes me laugh as he tries monopolize the conversation (the arsehole loves the sound of his own voice) while pretending he is busy doing stuff in the sound booth while he spouts his stupid moronic crap about current affairs, but it looks like he has a booth full of mice running around and he is trying to avoid stepping on them.

    Yay for OutFoxed.
