Reminder: Outfoxed 7th Anniversary Discussion Now
You can watch it here. It includes commentary from me.
Fox News And The Outfoxed Effect: Seven Years Later
As one of the researchers for Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism, I’m proud of the impact the film has had on the public’s perception of Fox News. Before Outfoxed, few people paid much attention to what the network was up to. Now, it’s a regular topic of political conversation and even mockery by The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Other than from a Fox News employee, when was the last time you heard someone arguing that the network doesn’t have a conservative/Republican bias? I think we can thank Outfoxed for exploding that "fair and balanced" myth to smithereens. And yet, while we can call that particular mission “accomplished,” there is still plenty more work to be done.

Outfoxed And Murdoch Revisited: Join The Discussion!
Tuesday night (August 9, 2011), Robert Greenwald, director and producer of the landmark documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism will hold a live, online discussion reflecting on the seven-year anniversary of Outfoxed, from 8-9 PM ET (5-6 PT). With the News Corp. scandals so prominently in the news and questions still hanging about the conglomerate’s behavior in the United States, this is a great time to take stock of Fox News, where the “fair and balanced” network has gone since George W. Bush left office (and Barack Obama took his place), its role in the Murdoch empire’s grab for political, economic and social power – and most importantly, how to restore integrity to American journalism. The discussion will feature commentary from “special guests” – including moi! You can submit questions via the Outfoxed website, Facebook or Twitter.

Fox Instructed "Objective News" Reporters To Use GOP-Preferred "Government Option" Over "Public Option"
In a leak that absolutely devastates Fox News' claim that certain shows are "objective news," an email obtained by Media Matters shows that Fox News honchos directed the use of the GOP-preferred term "government option" instead of "public option" when reporting on health care reform. (H/T Aunty Em)
