Employees Expose FOX NEWS' Distortions

Video Description:
FOX News: "Fair and balanced" because they say so!
A brief but shocking compilation from the documentary:
"OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"
http://www.outfoxed.org/
As Rupert Murdoch's 'war on journalism' hits new lows, droves of disgruntled employees are confessing their many misdeeds, brought upon by the Soviet-Union-esque environment they faced at FOX News. Watch how FOX executives dictate their bias by forcing reporters to follow memos that predetermine what they can say and how they should say it.
Rupert Murdoch has decided that the best approach to journalism is to parade opinions dressed-up as News. The reason is simple: No one can disprove an opinion, and therefore, credibility is easier to maintain. Should they ever be caught lying, the legal process affords them protection under the First Amendment. We also have Congress to thank for the bright idea of passing a rider Bill (hidden) to deregulate the News Media.
That's right; Corporate News entities can tell lies and distort the news as they please, and it's all perfectly legal.
To the best of my knowledge, no country can have or maintain democracy without an honest Press or, at least, one that can be held accountable. But where is ours?
Not convinced? "Florida Appeals Court ruled that there is absolutely nothing illegal in a major media organization lying, concealing or distorting information": http://www.netfeed.com/~jhill/RupertMurdoch.htm

Give me a break Colmes, Powers, Ferrero & Beckal aren't real liberals. They are the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globe trotters. Their role on Fox is to lose every argument.

I'm not a repub or ... ( 1 week ago by Parrotisla)

I'm not a repub or a dem, but being that every single news network leans to the left, I have no problem with fox leaning to the right. Also it's funny to think that every news station was biased toward Obama and Fox news is the only station to give equal negative and positive feedback between obama and McCain. Being that fox is best in the ratings, they're doing something right, whatever it may be. Ive also seen candidates on other news networks who often avoid hard questions and get away withit

That's exactly the ... ( 1 week ago by mostlyawake)

That's exactly the argument that Murdoch wanted the public to have. Notice, you don't mention the truth, which is what journalism is supposed to be about, you mentioned the sides of an argument -- meaning there is no truth. That's how we got lied into a war. When there is no truth (only sides of the truth), then people don't understand reality (they only back their side). And Fox news is top in the ratings for the same reason Jerry Springer is. They got ratings off car chases, gossip and fear.

Keep in Mind Fox ... ( 1 week ago by Parrotisla)

Keep in Mind Fox wasn't the only news station that lied about the wars, they ALL did. ALL of the news networks duped us to go into war. I agree journalism is suppose to be about truth, but I don't see how people can complain about fox news when all of the other stations do the same sh*t. Car chases, gossip and fear. Car chases are shown on all news networks because they are big ratings. Fear, yes, big ratings bu again all networks use that. Do you know what's in your drinking water? Stay tuned.

"Keep in Mind Fox ... ( 1 week ago by mostlyawake)

"Keep in Mind Fox wasn't the only news station that lied about the wars, they ALL did." No. There is a large difference between reporters being lied to by the Bush admin and those actively pushing those lies. O'Reilly told anyone who didn't believe in WMDs to "shut-up" for almost a year on his radio show. Other stations do the "same type of news as Fox" as a result of Fox's ratings. As for the Birch Society, Alex Jones, nonsense about drinking water, I'll take a pass on that debate.

Wait who said ... ( 1 week ago by Parrotisla)

Wait who said O'Reilly is news? He's simply a talk show where he gives his opinion. Not all of the shows on Fox are news. Just like the other channels, not all of their shows are news. I don't watch o"Reilly though I did during 01-02. He wanted to bomb the hell out of those countries. I think when we talk about these news networks it's important to distinguish between the shows such as O'Reilly, Hannity and Colms and the regular news during the day. Those are opinions, the coverage not so much.

"I think when we ... ( 1 week ago by mostlyawake)

"I think when we talk about these news networks it's important to distinguish between the shows such as O'Reilly, Hannity" No. That's exactly the point. Fox "news" is not news. It is all opinion. You think "terrorist fist jab" is "news"? You think joking about killing Obama is "news"? Fox "news" is all opinion. That's the point of "Outfoxed - Ruppert Murdoch's War on Journalism" -- which is the movie which this clip was taken from.

Here's one example ... ( 1 week ago by mostlyawake)

Here's one example not shown, by Outfoxed or Brave New Films, where I can show you the bias. Bush spoke from Israel and took a shot at Obama (saying that "some people" believe we should talk to terrorists). The Bush people told reporters on background that Bush was taking a shot at Obama. All the news outlets reported that. Fox news did not, and instead (on their "news show") they had on a therapist to describe how Obama had a mental disorder for believing that Bush was speaking about him.

mostlyawake, you are correct. A channel that hires law-bending characters such as Oliver North and Karl Rove cannot be fair and balanced.

To all you left wing loons, are you jealous that there is a news channel that doesn't support the liberal left like all the other networks?
OMFG!
Typical Left Wing Loons, they support free speech until someone has a different view!
Go to Hell to all you left wing idiots!
Long Live the Fox Channel!
Btw, the Fox News has more than twice the audience than CNN and MSNBC together!
Muhahahahaha!

FOX should not be ... ( 4 days ago by 888eman)

FOX should not be considered a news station. They don't do actual reporting. News reports are supposed to be an unbiased, accurate representation of world events that are presented for the viewer to form his/her own opinions on the subject. This station tells its viewers, through distortion and misrepresentation of the facts, what their opinion should be. This is not journalism, not even close.

It's not a news ... ( 3 days ago by drillahmon)

It's not a news show its a propaganda machine to promote the causes of big government and ultimately faschism. They're doing everythin they can to make Obama look like a terrorist, communist and any other name they can get to stick.

Don't be silly. FOX ... ( 3 days ago by jrigeli)

Don't be silly. FOX has regular news programming with stories that are not biased just like the other networks. And then they have Talk Shows with commentators that give the conservative point of view. This is no different than MSNBC Olberman, Matthews or CNN Dobbs, Caferty, etc. All the cable news channels have talk shows that slant right or left.
So stop whining, just because there are people on the air that have a different opinion than your own.

Please. Does anyone ... ( 3 days ago by kabloozie)

Please. Does anyone believe FOX is any more responsible for the deterioration of traditional journalism, any more than the STAR or National Enquirer is.
It's not all that.
Most media is slanted, FOX is just more obnoxious and rubs people the wrong way. It's a conservative Op/Ed channel.

You could find ... ( 3 days ago by kabloozie)

You could find disgruntled employees from other news organizations - unfortunately, they probably wouldn't go on camera because it's less likely they could find work if they were to speak out against their employer - I mean, FOX is only one channel...
I wish traditional news outlets wouldn't be such intellectual snobs, then FOX wouldn't have a leg to stand on. I think most people recognize that the traditional news outlets are slanted and biased also - FOX is a not-that-great alternative.

Your claim seemed suspicious to me, so I looked it up myself. Fox News was offered an opportunity to get a direct license, but never acted upon. Instead, going through Rogers Communication to carry the network. Maybe you live out in the sticks and don't get it? But your claim is bs. The only one distorting the truth is you.
