OutFoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004)

You know what this is about, it’s the counter argument to Fox News and its effects on media culture. While political shifts since the documentary first came out have lessened, even voided some of the criticisms in the documentary (for example the current liberal statues of much of MSNBC shows that counter programming to Fox has taken root), there’s still relevant information here. I would encourage Fox News viewers to watch this documentary and see the other side, though I can’t help but point out that the talking heads in this film must be as disproportionately left as Fox News is right. Though I largely agree with the film, I do have to be fair and balanced after all. Grade: B
