Actually, I watched it as soon as I got home last night from work (about 11 PM) and again when I got up this morning. Good stuff...

7. Absolutely. It offers a terrific (if somewhat scholastic) breakdown of
Fox's agenda and (most importantly) the techniques that they use to forward their agenda. It's compelling in that it provides visible evidence to support the suspicion that many (or most) people already have about the biased "reporting" that FNC provides. The harsh and unavoidable truth that the viewer of "Outfoxed" is left with is that journalism is not even attempted by Fox. It's NOT news. It's marketing glitz and RNC talking points -- 24 hours a day.

I found one of the most poignant segments to be an interview with Jeremy Glick, the son of a Port Authority worker who was killed on 9/11 at the WTC. He had signed an anti-war petition in the period leading up to the invasion of Iraq. O'Reilly had him on, insulted him, lectured him, told him to shut up, cut his mic and then had him removed from the building.

He really comes off as the total jackass that he is. I think that segment's as powerful as some of the Bush clips in F911.

5. I'm waiting on Best Buy
to get it back in. They are selling it for $9.99 but they sold out of their first shipment already. Had to put my name on a waiting list. This vid must be popular here in Ohio.
