Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalismuses the inflammatory  tactics of the Fox News Channel to demonstrate the conservative bias  that's handed down by Fox's owner, media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The  documentary gathers interviews from media watchdogs and former Fox  employees (including a former anchor, Jon Du Pre, who describes his flailing efforts to create a celebration for Reagan's birthday when the one he was sent to cover never materialized), but their overwhelming condemnation of Fox's skewed news  practices isn't half as effective as footage taken directly from Fox  itself--an appalling montage of pundit Bill O'Reilly telling guests to  shut up; repeated efforts to paint Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry as weak  and waffling, while President Bush is captured in respectful, reverent  images; and management memos dictating language, subject matter, and point  of view.Outfoxedis unlikely to persuade Fox News fans to change  their views, but it may spur outraged liberals to take action.--Bret  Fetzer
