New Documentary: "Outfoxed"
http://www.outfoxed.org

"'Outfoxed' examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know."

"This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it's like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a "right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said 'There's no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can't be crossed.'"

Doesn't look like its going to be released in the theaters - something about the producers not getting permission from Faux News to use the footage - but it can be purchased from the website for about $10, which is about what it would cost to see it in the theaters.....F/911 and this need to be required viewing in the months ahead for as many people as possible in the months before Nov. 2....

Tell you friends and pass it along....

1. I already ordered it to have it to show at our Democratic HQ
It will give us a great excuse to have gatherings and events, plus people can just drop by and see it.

view the movie Sunday evening, July 18.

Go to http://action.moveonpac.org/outfoxed to sign up for a house party in your area.

I'm double checking that link.

On edit: That is the correct link, type in your zip code to find a location near you.

3. I'm hoping to make a house party this Sunday...
I heard that O'Reilly has stated on numerious occasions that he's only called one person a liar the whole time he's been on the air. Apparently, there's footage of him calling several people liars. That in and of itself is enough to make me see this. Oh the irony.......

4. I Took a Friend to Fahrenheit 9/11 a Few Weeks Ago
He was an Independent, basically uninterested in politics. But between me begging and the media hype, he agreed to see F9/11.

Two days ago, he sent me the link to this documentary and was asking about it. Ironically, I had ordered it earlier that morning. He wants to see this now, too.

I can pretty much guarantee he'll vote Dem this time around.

6. I ordered 4 copies yesterday.
One for me. One for my sister. One for my brother and one for a friend. I will give it to them with the understanding that they pass it around to as many people as possible. I stopped watching Faux News the week the idiot-in-chief was appointed by the Supreme Court. I couldn't take their shit anymore and I want EVERYONE to know what a farce that network is.
