Outfoxed


Outfoxed Rupert Murdochs War on Journalism is a 2004 documentary film by filmmaker Robert Greenwald that says Fox News Channel and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, promote and advocate rightwing views. The film says this bias belies the channels motto of being Fair and Balanced.

The film examines the global growth of Murdochs media enterprise in the context of concentration of media ownership considerations, and evaluates the effect of having one person in control of a large media conglomerate on freedom of the press.Former Fox News journalists appear in the film critiquing the methods and perceived integrity of their former employer. Jon Du Pre, a former reporter for Fox Newss West Coast bureau, said that he had been suspended by Fox News management because his live shots from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Ronald Reagans birthday which Du Pre described was like a holy day to Fox Newss hierarchy were not celebratory enough. A former Fox News military contributor, Larry C. Johnson, said that he was in high demand to give onair analysis on the War on Terrorism, until he called into question on Hannity amp Colmes whether or not the United States could fight two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq simultaneously, an incident after which Johnson says he was ignored as a potential Fox News contributor. ........
