Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

Quote:
Documentary on reported Conservative bias of the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News Channel (FNC), which promotes itself as "Fair and Balanced". Material includes interviews with former FNC employees and the inter-office memos they provided.

Produced and Directed by Robert Greenwald.

Download the interviews for your own use here: http://www.outfoxed.org/Clips.php

Don't bother commenting if you haven't watched all of it.

This from the uber-liberal Village Voice.

The film is propaganda. It’s not supposed to be fair and balanced. The people who’ve made this film want America to vote for Kerry in the fall. I will, but don’t try to say that these films have anything to do with objective truth….
About sums it up...though I'm not sure why you're posting information on a four year old movie.

You haven't watched it have you? lol

And that link led to an article in the Greenwich Village Gazette lol that the best you can do?

imdb link giving direct links to 79 different reviews from all over the United States.

And why post it 4 years later? A) it's still relevant, and B) some people haven't seen it. (probably including you)

Why watch crapola? And there's no "journalism" to make war on - real journalism was extinguished decades ago by the liberal media establishment and it's product: liberal opinion all the time everywhere.

Why would I watch it? I don't need to read Mein Kampf to know it's a propoganda piece just like this is. The Gazette was relevant because it's a liberal speaking about a liberal piece. They were just honest in their review that it's propoganda.

lol sigh* Like I said on the original post, don't bother if you haven't watched it, I'm not interested. For the same reason I refuse to talk to a pigeon about NAFTA.

I havnt watched Triumph of the Will either. BFD.

You probably would not waste your time watching a video from the Klan expalining why racism is a valid ideology. How is this different?

Its obviously biased. To a degree which even the Village Voice apparently finds offensive...and you have to be pretty far to the left to get that.

Well, you're clearly ignorant with regards to most of what you're talking about, but I'll agree with "real journalism was extinguished decades ago" to a large extent.

The point of the film you two wont watch for obvious reasons, is that FOX takes it to an extreme unlike anyone else and... meh, watch it, don't watch it. All good.

You'd be wrong lol I've watched things about the Klan, hitler, serial killers, people who believe in various gods, fairies, midgets, republicans, democrats, independents, gay, straight, rich, poor, stupid, clever, funny, boring... I'll learn about anything whether I think I agree with it or not. You know why? Cos If I don't learn about it, then how am I going to know whether I do agree with it or not.

Basic requirement of being knowledgeable. You can't bypass it, and you can only fake it to people more stupid and ill informed than yourself.

Then you have a lot more time on your hands than most people do.

Since my time is limited, I have to pick and choose which things are most worth my time. So I discriminate against biased sources, because they are unlikely to tell me anything worthwhile in my experience.
