OutFOXing the Media
The probelm with network news in America is this, it's a monopoly controlled by one who worships at the alter of Ronald Reagon and who's values are aligned with the current administration. The media empire of billionare mogul Rupert Murdoch reaches billions around the globe dominating airwaves in the United States, Britain, Italy and Asia. This Autrailian born Bush supporter owns 9 satellite tv networks, 100 cable channels, 175 newspapers, 40 book imprints, 40 tv stations and 1 movie studio. These include 20th century fox studio, Fox network, Fox news, New York Post, The Times of London and much much more. It is estimated that his media reaches 3/4 of the world's population. Hmmm. Fox News, hard to beleive that many people actually rely on the unilateralism of mainstram media as a source of reliable information.
Outfoxed:Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (from the back of the dvd case):
"The team behind outfoxed created a system to moniter Fox News 24 hours a day for months to discover exactly how its shows worked. A team of volunteers around the country scutinized every hour of Fox News programming, noticing examples of bias in it's coverage. The result is an intense examination of Fox News and the lie inherent in it's favorite motto:
"Fair and Balanced."An important side note of this film worth mentioning was it's breif glimpse at the politics of fear and how our government via the media uses fear as a tool to rally our support for a powerful military. You can watch this movie online.
