A review of Robert Greenwald's new documentary investigating the Fox News Channel



As
“Fahrenheit 9/11,” Michael Moore's powerful indictment of the Bush
Administration, is influencing millions of Americans in the heartland,
“Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism,” a devastating new
documentary that exposes Bush's biggest cheerleader, opens this week in
New York and San Francisco and will be featured in thousands of house
parties across the country, sponsored by MoveOn.org on Sunday, July
18th.



“Outfoxed”
demonstrates in painful detail how one media empire, making full use of
the public airwaves, can reject any semblance of fairness or
perspective, and serve as the mouthpiece of right-wing conservatives,
fully relishing its role. Media critic Jeffrey Chester describes the
Fox News operation most succinctly in the film: “Fox News Channel is a
24/7 commercial for the conservatives and the Republican Party.”
