Hi guys,

  we are showing OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's war on journalism at The Southern
Cross Garden bar & Restaurant on Monday, 26-March-07 at 7.30pm.

  "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.
  The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when
a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.
  Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie
Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David
Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and
its effect on society.
  This documentary also 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."

  Hope to see you there on Monday,

  Jeremy
