"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."
Director/Producer Robert Greenwald has produced and/or directed 53 television movies, miniseries and features.
