The Antidote #9 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.
