[keithyboy]

Just sit back and watch the fireworks. They are too stupid to just ingonre the docu. They will try to fight back and in so doing will not only destroy themselves but take down a few of the media giants we abhor. Let the FOX-fight begin!!!! PBS and C-Span will be looking good!

1. To which documents do you refer?

3. It's not documents-it's a documentary

Called Outfoxed. Go to www.outfoxed.org and you can order your own copy. It "outs" Fox News for the bunch of right-wing tools that they are--using the testimony of their own former employees. FNC has threatened to "out" MSNBC & CNN if they provide the documentary with any coverage--too late for that--Keith Olbermann devoted an entire segment to the doc last night on MSNBC's Countdown.

5. Yes! First time I've heard the Olbermann firing story

and straight from him. :) I knew he was fired, but the exact story on it I wasn't clear. Basically, he said he had a story from a reliable source about Murdoch selling the team and checked with Murdoch's staff to see if it was okay to run the story. He thought it was only fair to check since Murdoch owns the network. The person he talked to told him if it was news from a reliable source, it's news. Go ahead.

Two weeks later, he was fired. He then learned that the order to fire him came directly from Murdoch.

Former Fox Journalists, Internal Memos to Blow the Whistle on Fox Partisan Bias


NEW YORK - July 9 - At a New York press conference this coming Monday, four former Fox News employees will go on the record to expose Fox's persistent Republican partisan bias, while releasing internal memorandums from Fox News Channel showing executive level instructions to Fox on how to bias the news.

The four Fox whistleblowers appear, along with three others, in Robert Greenwald's new documentary "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism," excerpts of which will be shown at the news conference. The film is a devastating indictment of the Fox News Channel's purposeful disinformation in the pursuit of partisan objectives. Also at the news conference, Common Cause and MoveOn will outline their forthcoming campaign OUTFOX, starting with thousands of house parties to show the film taking place on Sunday, July 18th.

On Tuesday, media are invited to the official film premiere and to a panel on media consolidation and reform hosted by The Center for American Progress, with media authors and critics such as Arianna Huffington and Eric Alterman.
