I was just wondering if any of you have ever seen the documenatry 'OUTFOXED'?

Living in England and not being a consumer of the Fox brand, I couldn't believe what I was watching. I always new that Murdoch's news channel was bad, but I never knew HOW bad until I watched it.

I could not believe how much propaganda and personal opinion apeared in their content. I also couldn't belive how Ronald Regans birthday could be a top headline - yet Murdoch made the reporters cover it, even though there wasn't even a story. All because Regan is his hero.

Obviously, the docu is biased into showing one opinion, but they can hardly make all of that stuff up, can they? And the amount of ex-employees they got to talk in the show (who by the way were all discrediting the  channel) much also vouch for something.

Have any of you seen it, or hate/love fox news? Opinion please...

i've got outfoxed at home. i think it's great. of course they've got their agenda too, but still, i thought it was illuminating.

it was funny, i was listening to NPR the other day and the housemate sez, "so what's "marxist radio" have to say about the riots in france? and i'm all, marxist radio? i'm listening to NPR. you're thinking of democracy now. he's all, naw, that's stalinist radio. i say, okay, does this mean i get to call foxnews "hitler television" now? and a good laugh was had by all.

i HATE foxnews. it's so obvious. you can tell someone's gotten a toxic dose of foxnews when they say something like, "john kerry looks french." any resemblance between foxnews and actual information is purely coincidental.

I just want to know how they get away with claiming they're 'Fair & Balanced' ??? ??

I actually thought that British news was bad enough - and British news is supposed to be as objective as possible. Our press is the only thing allowed to have left or right bias.

I was just so shocked that they were allowed to get away with so much. I wonder how much people actually believe in what fox news tells them.

That is the question of the century.


Yes, I have seen the film. Some very interesting stuff. I don't usually watch Fox but lately, we will turn it on just to see their spin on things-down playing the Libby indictment.  Bill O'Rielly cracked us up when he was saying how sorry he felt for the guy. Another thing I noticed about Fox-the claim to be "the most POWERFUL name in news" while CNN claims to be "the most TRUSTED name in news". Which would you like to have, the most "powerful" or the most "trusted"?

Yes, I too have seen Outfoxed, and while certainly one point of view, they didn't make it up.  As Cat says, we tune in on occasion just to see what the little fascists are saying.

I've seen "Outfoxed," but I had no need to.  I've watched enough FOX News to see "Outfoxed" in the making.  It's all quite transparant.  FNC is not for individuals with brains that have matured to adulthood.  It's for people witht the mentality of three year olds who will believe everything mommy and daddy tell them!
:D

They play faux news overnight and right about the time it comes on, Outfoxed is usually on.  ;D

It's funny in a very depressing sort of way.  ::) :-\\

Seen it. Lived it.

The film is better than most, worse than some.

So what sort of media regulation do you have in the States? I just don't undertsnad how fox news can get away with some of the things it says!!

Not very much in America because of something called the First Amendment. Which gives Fox(aka FAKE) News license to say any kind of dumba** Republican-spun platitudes....Don't forget that America gave the world Rush(aka El Rushbo)Limbaugh and that skanky Ann Coulter!

Is there a website that would tell me exactly what sort of media regulation, espeicially televsion news regulation that exists in the States?

Most of the newscasters on Fox News are Bush's puppets anyway......  ::)
