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. The film explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. A startling look at the effects of media concentration on democracy in an era when most voters know their candidates solely through the media, "Outfoxed" is a must see film for anyone concerned with such fundamental issues as democracy and freedom of speech. Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital
Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.
Producer/Director: Robert Greenwald
