If you haven't heard of it yet, 'Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism' is a documentary that questions Fox News Channel's "Fair and Balanced" tagline. You can see a trailer for the film at http://www.outfoxed.org/ There will be screenings of the film tonight at the Colony in Raleigh at 5:15 @ 7:15, and there's a suggested $5 donation that goes to support Southern Exposure. (http://www.southernstudies.org)
The film doesn't hold a lot of surprises, if you've ever actually watched FNC. (Bill O'Reilly is a jerk, there are more Republican "experts" interviewed on Fox than Democrats, Fox viewers aren't as well informed). But the film does raise interesting questions about the importance of media in a Democracy, and the danger inherent in so much of our media being controlled by such a small number of corporate interests. If you're interested in politics and you get your news from TV, you should see it.
