Product features:
- The genre-busting documentary hit that started the flood of issue-oriented documentaries is back, just in time for another crazed season of political news coverage in the build up to the 2008 presidential election. The original film is just as relevant and necessary today as it was in 2004, supplemented by over an hour of additional material, including the infamous Fox Attacks, a series of 16 shor
DVD Reviews of Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism - Fox Attacks Special Edition
DVD Review: Important Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is very helpful to people like me who watch Foxnews (off and on) in progressive disbelief. Number one, how can they get away with the repetitions, the cheesy, self-aggrandising "Breaking News"; the one-note, one pitch, bullying of guests, etc. At this point, I watch Foxnews because O'Reilly has a terrifc show and Alan Colmes is excellent. Also, to maybe catch Hannity being caught with his "pants down" - meaning he can't find his "cheat sheet" - of the same phrases he used ten minutes ago!!.
This DVD helps one to organize his/her thoughts on this full-scale assault on viewers' rights to have something reasonable on the airwaves that the FCC asserts belong *not* to the folks who make 70 billion dollars a year cross-referencing their projects (and the projects of their close friends).
To be "Fair and Balanced", though, I would have liked to have some small credit given to the guys and dolls [no sexism intended] who *are* professional and consistent. The afore-mentioned O'Reilly (who, at times, seems to lose traction and falls back on those "talking points" and who loses control too easily - though I think he erupts mainly when he thinks a guest is trying to mess with him and the audience), Colmes, Geraldo Rivera, Megan Kelly..
It's interesting when the Documentary uses the actual Foxnews technique of rapid slide-show repetition to demonstrate that slogans and phrases, repeated enough, actually numb the brains of the well-meaning correspondents.
Funny that this evening I turned on Fox again (before I switched to Larry King) and was stunned to find two examples of real fair and balanced programming. Bill and Sheppard were outstanding.
Mr. Murdoch, you are a Patriot, no doubt. Please apply your strong beliefs to the Fox network. Please keep an eye on segments like that which can win back viewers. And send Sean to Journalism school.
