Movie Summary
While the Fox News cable network has promoted itself as a fair and balanced news outlet -- so much so that theyve even trademarked the phrase -- not everyone believes that theyre living up to their slogan, and this activist documentary by filmmaker Robert Greenwald takes a close look at the political perspective of Foxs coverage. Outfoxed: Rupert Murdochs War on Journalism examines the right-wing slant of Fox News reporting, as represented in stories the network chooses to cover and their shoehorning of editorial opinion into stories, revealed in interviews with former Fox employees and several noted journalists (including Walter Cronkite) who discuss the pro-conservative, anti-Democratic views of the channels management and how theyre manifested in their programming. The film also puts alk show host Bill OReilly under the microscope and offers potent examples of his frequently abrasive interviewing style. Production of Outfoxed was supported in part by the leftist political action network Moveon.org. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
