The Antidote #91/2 features: 
 

OUTFOXED: Murdoch’s War on Journalism 
Produced by Robert Greenwald (74 mins)
2004 

The much talked documentary about "OUTFOXED: Murdoch's War on Journalism"
provides an in-depth look at Rupert Murdoch's 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 so much media is controlled by one person. Prominent Media experts
provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its warped effect
on society. It shows blatant examples of a Bush agenda, particularly in the
lead up to the last Presidential election and reveals how it was Fox news
that first “called” the election win for Bush – even though it was
illegitimate (spot which of Bush’s many relatives was involved this time).
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, showing the networks’ motto “Fair & Balanced” tagline to be a cruel
joke. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a
"right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs and how this agenda was set in
daily memos to staff. As one employee said "There's no sense of integrity as
far as having a line that can't be crossed." Director/Producer Robert
Greenwald is the Executive Producer of the excellent documentary
“Unprecedented: The 2002 Presidential Election” which Aotearoa Indymedia
screened last year. A good accompaniment to the Aotearoa Indymedia doco
“Whose News?” screened in June.
