Movie Info

Left-leaning documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald sets his sights on right-wing billionaire Rupert Murdoch in this takedown of the Australian media mogul's flagship, Fox News Channel. In deconstructing the conservative network's oft-touted slogan, "Fair and Balanced," Greenwald assembles archival footage of Fox News personalities like Bill O'Reilly and Neil Cavuto, as well as interviews with former employees and previously unseen interoffice memos from channel boss Roger Ailes.

Audience Reviews for Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

  • Nov 11, 2012
    Yes I'll agree Fox news is an extremely biased news channel. But the problem with the documentary is that it ended up doing the same thing Fox news did. Same propaganda. It showed Fox news making a big deal of small things, like Kerry looking French. But this made the line "You decide" seem like sorcery in brain wash. The reason I loved Religelous so much is everyone got to defend there views. Watching outfoxed is like watching someone jab at an unconscious opponent. Not a soul good defend the station. I found the Jeremy Glick case interesting since I've seen Ive done some research on it before, but other than that this was hypocritical crap

    If you haven't figured out yet that Fox News has an agenda, see this movie. This is already seven years old. Just watch any given week of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report to see what dirty tricks they've been up to lately.

    No real surprises here. Most that watch this movie has already seen through Fox News and what it is and represents.
