Movie Info
While the Fox News cable network has promoted itself as a "fair and balanced" news outlet -- so much so that they've even trademarked the phrase -- not everyone believes that they're living up to their slogan, and this activist documentary by filmmaker Robert Greenwald takes a close look at the political perspective of Fox's coverage. Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism examines the right-wing slant of Fox News' reporting, as represented in stories the network chooses to cover and their

Greenwald has fashioned a fine attack dog, and he's sicced it on a deserving subject.
Top CriticTaken for what it is, Outfoxed is still worth watching, especially for the politically active.
Makes a crucial argument that has less to do with conservatives and liberals than with the coarsening of political discourse and the sinking standards of journalism and news -- subjects that go far beyond any particular news operation.
As hugely entertaining as it is informative.
While Outfoxed surely will appeal more to liberals than to conservatives, its value to its self-selected audience lies not in upending anyone's expectations, but in taking the uninitiated down the Fox News rabbit hole.
Those with negative opinions of Fox News probably never watch it and may find the ample clips on display here eye-opening.
I'm Shocked, SHOCKED to discover Fox News is conservative!!!
[A] home-run smackdown of the Australian mogul who dominates the American media scene...
This basic dichotomy of honest, urgent intentions and desultory, cheapskate expression marks OutFoxed from a fairly early moment and never really changes.
The most scrupulous, most focused, most thorough, and arguably most important of 2004's wave of activist documentaries.
Not about anything except the lead-balloon revelation that Fox feeds rage and fuels disinformation with questionable journalistic tactics.
This is a big story, but there's not much coverage of it, except in this movie.
Fox News eventually comes off as a circle of buffoons yapping catch phrases. The movie hammers its points and, like a Bush campaign stop, there's no room for dissent.
