I just saw "OUTFOXED"
I am convienced that all Democrats, liberals, and progressives must boycott that channel. They should not appear as guests, and we as consumers should boycott as many sponsers of fox as we can, and let those sponsers know

Fox is such a dangerous medium...

1. Just watched it tonight too
although I don't think it was as good as Uncovered. Using 'Anonymous' sources looks deceptive and is IMO counterproductive.

O'Reilly seems to be such an unhappy man.

2. Fox outdrew CBS and ABC COMBINED for Repug Convention
Just like a pile of fresh dogshit attracts flies on a hot summer day, Fox draws Republicans.

"Outfoxed" is MUST SEE material.

3. Me, too! Here's a thought...
what if we asked our public libraries to carry it? If they're reluctant, then get lots of friends to ask for it, start talking about it, write a letter to the editor...

and if all that fails, then buy a copy for them!

4. I had some friends over tonight and we saw Unprecedented,
and Outfoxed. Both are excellent. I'd seen Unprecedented before but my friends hadn't. They had no clue regarding how unbelievable it was in Florida during that awful, awful, time. One of them didn't even really believe the election was as corrupt as I knew it was. I asked her as they were leaving, "Now do you believe the election was stolen?" and she said, "absolutely."

10. Our main library
has let our peace group reserve their auditorium (holds 200) to show "Uncovered", "Outfoxed," and "Orwell Rolls In His Grave". We've had two showings of each and packed the house every time. The first showing of "Outfoxed," we had to tuen people away.

5. I just saw it this weekend too
My friend got really freaked out. He said it was disturbing and the way the movie compiled all those clips together to illustrate the bias made him see how Fox tries to brainwash its viewers. Also, another friend noted how every single "reporter" said the exact same thing. Really creepy.

7. Revoke their license
I'm surprised there have not been any efforts to get their FCC license revoked. Broadcasters are required to provide balanced programming. This documentary shows clear and convincing evidence that FOX is consistently and patently biased in its news programming.

9. No they're not.
There is no such requirement for any media to provide balanced programming.

22. GHWB held his hand as he signed that one
Its important to give credit where credit is due. Reagan wasnt exactly running the show after he met John Hinckley.

16. The FCC???
The Republicans control the FCC. Colin Powell's son is the head of the FCC. Besides, they are an outdated usless organization anyway. Once the monopoly rule was canned it became a free for all out there and ol Rupert bought up damn near everything.

Ronald Reagan did away with the "equal balance" stuff in his term.
