    Documentaries have to be non-biased?? Another right-wing talking point coming at you. A documentary is an interpretation of facts or events by the film maker. But don't let that stop The NY Post from giving it a 25, after all The NY Post is owned by Murdoch, the same Aussie immigrant who own Fox. Outfoxed blows the lid on the obvious stance Faux has taken since birth, THE mouth piece for the GOP. Of course you would do well to ignore ALL CORPORATE media outlets.… Expand

    This is a thoughful film that played this friday to an almost full house. Could the word of mouth be responsible? It looked like it was made on a shoestring!

    It's important to provide all the evidence we can in this era of lies from the government and lies from the media that the administration has in its pocket. This film is very effective in how it shows the truly terrible fox news organization.

    This movie opened my eyes. its appropriate the worst review comes from the New York Post, which is owned by Fox.

    I find it ironic that FOX News was accused of being one-sided. Outfoxed should "show the way" by being truely fair and balanced, yet it was produced and contributed by only the most extreme left people in America (i.e Cronkite, Franken, MoveOn.org). FOX News is mainly commentary anyway, which means free speech. And since a vast majority of the news media is left of center, what's the problem with having FOX News? If you don't like it, switch to ABC. Only when FOX News gained too much popularity did the fearful liberals sense a "need" for this bias muck.… Expand

    I think their description of varying techniques used by Fox News Corporation to undermine the integrity of "real" journalism is very useful for those who don't know much about mass media. Also, if you get a chance, go to the review by Megan Lehmann of the New York Post. it's interesting to note that she fails to mention she's doing this review on Rupert Murdoch's Payroll (Since he owns the New York Post). A little more "fair and balanced" from her too, eh?… Expand

    The only bad thing about this documentary is that not enough people will see it.

    A compelling and, no doubt, accurate look how the FOX NEWS channel does business. Entertaining and very funny at times, this is a must-see for regular viewers of 24 hour cable news. As another reviewer noted, the people that really need to watch this will not. Even if you are a venomous left-wing liberal who feels that you do need to see this, go ahead and watch it anyway. Why should you sleep better than me?… Expand

    The film lacks the accompanying media spotlight that boosted the Moore release and therefore appears unlikely to reach beyond a liberal audience with an already vehement aversion to Fox News' partisan coverage.

    Already a top-selling DVD thanks to PR support from moveon.org, numerous media outlets, political blogs, and even Doonesbury, Outfoxed argues that Fox News's pro-Republican bias is top-down.

    While largely effective, Greenwald's documentary is not a complete success.
