Creative Commons license: Sampling Plus. This is the original footage from the documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism, produced and directed by Robert Greenwald. The film, which has drawn attention for its pointed critique of Fox News, consists largely of interviews with former Fox employees and news guests. Greenwald said, “In making Outfoxed, I learned how cumbersome and expensive it can be to license footage from news organizations. The Creative Commons license, as used here, allows me as a filmmaker to know immediately how I can use a piece of content in my films. I could think of no better way to walk the talk myself than by releasing the interviews from Outfoxed here under a license that allows other filmmakers to use my material in new and creative ways. I look forward to seeing what others do with these interviews.” Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism is a 2004 documentary film by progressive filmmaker Robert Greenwald that is highly critical of the Fox News Channel, and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, claiming that the channel is used to promote and advocate right-wing views. The film says this pervasive bias contradicts the channel’s claim of being “Fair and Balanced”, and argues that Fox News has been engaging in what amounts to consumer fraud. The documentary was not released theatrically, but rather was distributed in DVD format by the progressive Political action committee MoveOn.org, and sold online through Internet retailers such as …

They legally don’t have to tell the truth… that’s scary.
The best thing that Warren Buffet and Bill Gates could do for human civilization would be to buy Fox News from Rupert Murdoch and create a real news organization with its assets. They’d need a non-compete from Murdoch and Ailes for 50 years. There’s no question that that could do more for human civilization than all the other efforts that the Gates Foundation currently does.
It doesn’t surprise me that Moveon.org, Media Matters, and the like would fund a documentary like this one that attacks fox, conservatives, and liberals that agree with conservatives on a few things. These sites are funded by George Soros and he is one corrupt billionaire. Murdoch is 117th most richest man in the world and Soros is 35th. Murdoch doesn’t come close and is not as powerful as this documentary portrays him to be.
The part at 13:12 about “homocide bombings” is REALLY unbelievable. FOX SUCKS!
Fox news go to hell. This is fucked up and society is like sheep and follow and believe the media. The media is a wold in sheeps clothing.
shocked.
in all reality fox is the highest rated new.
(what makes you beleve what you hear or what you refrence for yourself)”SLOW”
The fall of Murdoch’s Empire of Propaganda will bring about an age of enlightenment and give a portion of the media back to the PEOPLE.
It’s funny that the people talking about media filters being HEAVILY Edited with the Edits airbrushed out…
Oh Sweet Irony.
If I was a Journalist working for Murdoch I would aim to push as hard as I could to get the truth to the sheeple, I’d get sacked within a week/month if I tried to keep the job.
CBS television was founded by a cia agent named William Pawley who was an expert in pyschological warfare
“Operation Mockingbird”
Murdoch is a cia agent

“Its amazing that roughly %90 of the media is liberal based ”
PMSL, you fucking moron. 90% according to who? Fox?
Prick
Its amazing that roughly %90 of the media is liberal based & their still crying about Fox is making look bad. Why the hell cant right wingers have one news station that is conservative, liberals have all other stations & hollywood in their pocket. As if every single bit of media except fox didnt praise Obama every chance they got & Fox told the truth about him & now everybody has changed their minds Obama approval rating is lower than any other & Fox ratings r by far the highest
Fox News is just a tool for Rupert Murdoch to make the world a better place for himself, his business partners and financial interests. It’s all about a British billionaire spoon-feeding right wing pablum to naive Americans.
@jeffpace60
i just can’t comprehend why you assume so much about me or anyone for that matter and call THEM shallow. i’m an independent, i HAVE examined both sides, not only that i haven’t given the rest of the media a “pass”, it’s just that fox is the most blatant perpetrator of of biased views and it should be corrected, especially when they claim to be the most “fair& balanced” network on television.
Mr Jeff, you are beyond help. You and so many other unfortunate souls have no hope, and because of this you are weighing down this once great nation.
You are the type of person who could meet Jesus Christ in the flesh, have him put your hands in his wounds, then deny Him as a reliable source for being a liberal because he wants to help the less fortunate.
Your hubris is your downfall. I will not waste another moment. Take care
Ah PSSSH naw it’s alright no problem
@Yuri92001 OK, so I had it right the first time when I DIDN’T reply to this! Please accept my apology!
@nds711D Apparently, what I wrote back didn’t post.
Nearly everything you said was shallow & superficial.
If you can say these things about Fox & give the rest of the media a pass, then you’ve been indoctrinated already, and for the same reasons, by CBS, HEAR-BS, SPEAK-BS, & sound-alikes.
The shallow, superficial part is where you haven’t examined both sides of the coin.
These interiews prove Fox is no different from the rest of the media, they just sound “right wing.”
That’s not a crime.
@TheMattDrobnick You’ve got your knuckleheads crossed, and if I may, more than a few wires.
I’m more like those Jews in Germany who tried to warn their fellows, only to be met with the same glassy-eyed outlook I see in yours & so many others’ postings, and platitudes like, “Well, he CAN’T kill us ALL!”
Chances are, had they listened, it wouldn’t have taken the whole world going to war to stop his attempt.
@TheMattDrobnick To a truly open-minded person, my comments are no more disgusting, etc., than yours are.
And you’re trying to transfer your own shortcomnings (bias, cowardice, easy manipulation) to me now.
Nice try, but a failure all the same.
I don’t think I implied that at all…I men to say I haven’t watched it personally all the way through.
….

?
@steel1968 The act of not reporting what anyone who loves freedom should be concerned about is DEPRESSINGLY synonymous with “liberal,” as are the attacks on Fox for doing nothing the liberal media hasn’t done for longer than we’ve been alive.
Where Fox & most talk shows are 1 more part of the problem is in redefining Fascism & labeling Obama, who’s actually more of a Communist.
Get people fighting over media failings while the dirt keeps being done to the Constitution.
@Yuri92001 So is this humor or are you trying to imply that I haven’t watched the video? I’ve sat through it twice!
@steel1968 great post aimed at that knucklehead jeffpace. We really do need Real Americans…not them Ammurricans who actually mirror Nazi-era Germans who went along with the genocide, rather than question the propaganda and refuse to aid in the attempted elimination of an entire race. And if someone disagrees, please tell me how you could possibly be oblivious to the entire population of Jews systematically disappearing.
Last. Read Thomas Jefferson to see whether you’re truly conservative.
Jeffpace60…I read your comments. At the very least they are offensive, disgusting, and display your lack of courage. Yes, Courage. Why? Because you cannot separate yourself from your biases. How can you call a documentary worthless that contains multiple former FOX associates personal testimony. I suppose you know more about the inner working of that network than someone who actually produced the shows. It is people like you that are easily manipulated and give real conservatives a bad rap.
