safety 4th Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 has anyone seen this? my sister's friend brought it up from boston on the weekend and i watched it...then bought it online the next day. i can't help but wonder what the polls would be saying if fox news didn't exist...kerry would probably have a landslide www.outfoxed.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safety 4th Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 OMG...i saw farhenheit 911 in a theatre in michigan...when it was over, all i could think of is i need to get outta here. even if farhenheit 911 isn't all true and even if it shows a biased viewpoint, the fact of the matter is, it's about 2 hours long, and you have to leave the house and pay money to go and see it. watching that movie is a conscious decision. fox news is pumped homes in about 75% of the USA 24/7 and is branded as "fair and balanced" news. their slogan before every report is "fair and balanced...you decide". and this documentary shows several obvious ways in which they report exclusively in the favour of republicans and specifically the bush administration. bill o'reilly is shown repeatedly telling people with democratic viewpoints to "SHUT UP" and then ordering staff to have their mics cut...i honestly cannot believe this is simply accepted on a regular basis. the girl who showed me the dvd told me that the only news station she gets is fox news and it's 100% as depicted in the documentary too. really REALLY scary stuff. i should be getting the movie in a week or so...if anyone wants to borrow it, just let me know...EVERYONE should see this.
