Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

Clips from "Outfoxed"


Behind the scenes at Fox News

This is not the film itself. Instead, it's a reel of interviews from the film. Lots to learn here.

"The revolutionary thing that Fox has done is that it's eliminated journalism from the TV news. There is no journalism at the Fox News Channel." - Bob McChensey

Ronald Reagan made Rupert Murdoch by
dismantling laws that regulated the
US "news" industry.

The laws were written after WW II when
Congress was horrified by the power
the Nazis wielded through corrupt media.

Here are some former Fox news people and
some analysts talking about what it was like
working inside the Murdoch media propaganda
whorehouse.

(It takes a second to get going. This is a Google
video, not a YouTube one so the players is
a little different.)

Remember the real estate boom?

Fox cheerleading for BS


Here's the crap people were sold

Fair and balanced for Fox News means putting idiots on to spout the party line no matter how insane, ignorant or dishonest.

Look at the two clowns Fox dug out of the intellectual trash heap to predict a 10% increase in real estate prices in 2007.

Note how they are permitted to shout down and ridicule the only person who got it right.

The real estate lending scam was engineered to keep a very shaky credit-crazy economy humming along for as long as possible until the whole thing fell apart.

Mission accomplished, Mr. President.

Recall that Bush & Co. actually sued states that tried to enforce their own long-established and rational real estate lending laws.

This puts the political assassination of Eliot Spitzer in a new light.


Remember the real estate boom?

Remember how home prices were supposed to
go up 10% a year forever?

One of the prime cheerleaders for that
fraud was Rupert Murdoch's Fox News.

Here's how bad it was.

I remember this interview that right there turned me off Fox . When they said there was no inflation I knew they were talking crap. All I did was shake my head at these comments. Peter Shiff as almost always been right .

I simply don't see Fox as any worse then other news basically a viewer/reader can expect little truth in any news event today, reading AP is much like the old comic papers. Most journalist come out of left leaning colleges while they may pretend or assume the identity of a conservative it is simply theater in most respects.

Soros and the current administrations wants Fox News gone, so I assume that Fox News must be doing something correct.

Your right there all the same basically, Fox is conservative more or less and the others are Liberal more or less none of them do the right thing in reporting the news...only how they want to report it.
