ITEM OVERVIEW
For the first time ever, this documentary 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. The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. Media experts, including Jeff Cohen of FAIR, Robert McChesney, and Chillie Pingree, provide context and guidance in this intense examination of Fox News and the lie inherent in its favorite motto: "Fair and Balanced." "What Outfoxed does is detail the specific ways, both onscreen and behind the scenes, in which the network's conservatism shapes its news and opinion programs." —New York Times Magazine Eighty minutes, with 34 minutes of bonus footage.
