This film examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news, and provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangerous 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."

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Those with negative opinions of Fox News probably never watch it and may find the ample clips on display here eye-opening.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
9 Aug 2004
fresh:
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.
– Bruce Newman,
San Jose Mercury News,
12 Aug 2004
fresh:
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.
– Chris Vognar,
Dallas Morning News,
2 Sep 2004
fresh:
Taken for what it is, Outfoxed is still worth watching, especially for the politically active.
– Bill Muller,

Greenwald has fashioned a fine attack dog, and he's sicced it on a deserving subject.
