OUTFOXED : Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

The key to this whole video is the very end, where there is a plea to return to the fairness doctrine. This is a dangerous move which would harm the freedom movement.

Don't be outfoxed by this video. All of the MSM is controlled.

Every network is nothing more than public relations for whatever their goal and objectives are.

We think that the Freedom of The Press is for you and me but in reality the Freedom of the Press belongs to he who owns the press.

great comments. you have a Republican problem there. big R. here in michigan, we have a huge Democrat problem. big D. what is the damn difference indeed. i've thought about joining the democratic party here just to run for commissioner. i'd be the biggest gun advocate in the party. you should do the same in your texas district. run as a republican. you'd be the biggest gun advocate in the party.

if they would have also made the point that the democratic puppet was also a joke, then it would have been really good.

Yes, Fox and Murdock may be in a war against the other networks. And, yes obviously the former employees of Fox are not happy when the company changed hands and changed ideologies. But, I am glad that there is at least one place where we can go in the MSM and hear both sides of the arguments of the day. I am not saying that Fox does not lean Right, I believe it does but it is still one against many that lean or lead Left. Fox is a lone voice with a different point of view than the others. I am glad they are there.

Just finished watching the whole clip. Though several years old, it certainly was informative. Wish the DVD that's available was current. I'd love to see how what "seems" like a new "openness" on the part of Fox News plays is portrayed and explained. I don't doubt that Fox is strategizing and not swinging toward something we'd consider credible.

What stinks is that both Fox and the others all want big government. Only one is tied to republicans and the other is democrats. They said that fox should have been talking about national health care instead of the propaganda they were. National health care is a joke. Government can't provide any goods or services without taking it from someone else. Seperate discussion. They did have some good points and good footage. Most people accuse the networks but don't state any facts. This video did a lot of that, but it had evidence as well.

the guy writes for vanity fair magazine. i've seen this guy on c span criticize the tea parties as just being "the other side, and they had their chance for 8 years" blah blah. also saying that most the people showing up for the tea parties were ron paul supporters and no one is going to get behind their abolish the fed message.

well, this message is probably the fastest growing message in the political realm right now. sorry buddy. you're no better than fox.

I never understand how anyone would believe that any media billionaire would NOT use this incredible power to shape politics. It's cheaper and essentially tax deductible to promote a candidate in your own media rather than giving money to them or running for office yourself. Plus no term limits.

Murdoch is not the only one, he's just the worst (most talented) of them.

Fox news simply filled a void left by the stone age liberal media. Fox talking heads Hannity, O'reilly, Ingraham, Beck, Levine (excuse me while i puke) showed their true Neo Con colors during the 2008 campaign. Very disappointing. We must remember they are after market share which allows them to continue to fund their news empire. Sadly the market share for liberty seems rather small.

On a positive note, fox does host Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Fox News was my preferred news channel for 8 years or so. Had them on for some time nearly every day. Sometimes I would leave their channel on while working just to listen.

Anyhow, after their treatment of Ron Paul I dropped them completely. Not only that, but pushed far too many lies on us. I have not watched Fox News for probably 16 months now.

The only good thing I can think about Fox currently is that they have Judge Andrew Napolitano. Just the fact that they still have The Judge might be enough to draw me back.

Fox News' new trend of leaning towards freedom & liberty is something that helps draw me back, but so far has not because I do not feel that they are genuine. They need to do a lot better.

We haven't gotten any straight news for half a century, at least.

When, at first, Fox looked like it might be a breath of fresh air, their two top clowns ... Hannity and O'Rielly ... quickly dashed my hopes. If there's one thing I find loathsome, its hypocritical mouthpieces who proudly wear a "Catholic" label. They are rude, crude, traitors to God, to their religion, and to the people who listen to them.

Solution to this: throw out your TV. Don't listen to any of them.

indeed, but the same with the other big media, they were all in the boat for Obama, with Dr. Paul mostly being ignored by both "propoganda" groups.

It is interesting that Murdock contributed in 2007 to Hillary Clinton already and his daughter contributed to Obama. Murdock himself is basically a "neocon" that comes from the left. He does not care reporting about issues that brings him some money. He knows there is a niche. He would for instance let Fox be "pro-life" while he himself is "pro-choice" for instance.

Wish there were some true Independent major TV media.

This is the story that has me confused. Why did the highly pro-Israeli Fox News report this? Was it to put their spin on it, quickly report it once, and get it out of the way?

And, of course, the greater question is why didn't other networks report it?

This should have been front page headline news in all media.


Penetrated Targets:

Unlisted homes of law enforcement personnel


Majority of Israelis questioned, "Stated they served in military intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units."

Ron Paul's Convention Speech

I have some people I know that really believe faux is fair and balanced I want to share this with. At least Glenn Beck doesn't call his show news. He admits what he is. But people like Oreilly need to be b**** slapped. I can't believe people watch him. It is sooo obvious that fox is a neocon station, Just like msnbc is a Obama worship station. Both brainwashing for the sheeple. Then again the people I would like to share with seem to have closed minds and short attention spans. Alot of that going around.

Especially about the media smear of Ron Paul

I've had it with your crap.

Here's a clue for you.

How far, ideologically, are we from MSNBC vs FOX?

HERE'S THE ANSWER YOU CLUELESS BUNCH OF KNUCKLEHEADS.

equidistant.

in other words THE SAME.

If you can't grasp that, then you have no hope of fixing either party, and either the talking heads of MSNBC or FOX have captured your pea brain.

this message is not meant for those who enjoy "this segment" or "that segment"....I'm talking about those who want to lick Sean Hannity's boots or Keith Olbermann's boots.

those of you who fall somewhere in between a fox news or msnbc snack once in a while, and a daily diet of that mainstream crap....you best be careful.

it's not good for the noggin.

If you have already, can you give info?

The video seems to epitomise the BBC . Entrenched bias. The difference is that you can choose to subscribe to Fox - or not. We have to pay a license fee for the BBC, whether or not we watch it - if we have a TV, we pay upwards of £140/year for the privilege of biased reporting.

Wonderful! ;)

Little late bringing this one to the party IMO. It is an oldie but a goodie. While you are pulling out those, Go for Who Killed the Electric Car if you have not seen it. Must see IMO. I have links to many more sites if you are interested.

You say below things like "Yes, Fox is covering the Tea Parties, and for that I applaud them. But where was their coverage of the End the Fed rallies the following weekend?"

I saw Fox Business bring Peter Schiff ahead of the End the Fed rallies, to talk about the rallies and Fed abolition. And they said right on the bottom of the screen that there were going to be End the Fed rallies around the country. They didn't have to inform anyone that these rallies were going to take place, but they did. If they didn't cover them later (which I don't know if they did) it's because they were miniscule. It really wasn't very newsworthy.

You also say "And it is great to have the Judge, but remember - that is just a webcast. And people are so happy they see something like that because it has the Fox logo - they think Fox has found the truth or whatever. But they can keep the issues very neatly segmented simply by keeping the Judge's show as a webcast." I guess you're not aware that the break into the Fox News from Freedom Watch in order to allow the Judge to advertise the internet show. It's not like they're trying to hide it! They want as many viewers as possible! Viewers is money. You should know that, operating a website.

And you say "The danger with Fox is that they absorb the liberty movement, tweak it slightly and mass broadcast their controlled version of it. One way of tweaking it slightly is to leave out all mention of the role of the Fed." Again, I guess you don't watch Fox, because if you did they mention the Fed all the time, attack it, and even call for its abolition. David Asman in a Fed abolitionist for example, and did a show on elimination of the Fed on Fox Business. Too bad you missed it. He's my favorite newscaster of any network. He also drilled Alan Greenspan in one interview to get him to admit that we don't need a Fed.

So I don't know where you're coming from. If you're going to make these claims then you should be a Fox Viewer. You seem to just be making assumptions of what is NOT on the air, just because you didn't see it. I suggest you watch more Fox, especially Fox Business.

the parallels with all of the other major media which quite openly and smugly slanted their news in the last election to the left; and both Fox and the other major media guarding the 2-Party system with no alternatives considered.
There was a post on the DP of an independent journalist who made an excellent video exposing the bias of all the media in the Obama-McCain campaign; sorry I don't recall the headline to look it up and re-post it.
As far back as I remember the corporate news on both sides has been heavily slanted and unconcerned with fair, balanced reporting. The media all see news audiences as just markets, and are willing to use any dishonest means to sell their own points of view.

I didn't know how I knew it. Now I do. It is amazing at how many normally "regular people" would sell their soul to Ruppert Murdoch. What a rip off.
So where is Glen Beck in this lie? Pray tell.

For me Ron Paul showing up on Fox news as much as he does is really quite sickening. That's where I lose respect for him.
