Outfoxed shows how Fox News is used to promote and advocate right-wing views.

3:09 One day orders came from Murdoch's offices that the network should cut away from their regularly scheduled program and broadcast the RNC's fawning tribute to Reagan: "we were ordered, from the top, to carry propaganda; Republican, right-wing propaganda". It foreshadowed what Fox News would later become.

6:30 Former Fox News reporters and bookers say that they are afraid to be seen "talking to the wrong people".

19:04 Fox News contributors are under paid contract for their appearance; if they deviate from the party lines, they might not get asked back onto shows.

21:22 Fox News went after Richard Clarke as soon as it was apparent that he was going to paint the Bush administration in a bad light.

26:29 Republicans accounted for 83% of the guests while Democrats accounted for 17% of guest on the network's most prestigious show.

27:50 Stories they Cover...Stories they Ignore - Management set the tone for stories: Jesse Jackson was always to be painted in a negative light, as were immigrants. Culture war issues - abortion, affirmative action, gay marriage - were often covered while ignoring issues regarding the economy, health care, and the environment.

42:00 Many Fox News stories are meant to generate fear; for example, stories about what to do if there's a "dirty bomb" attack.

46:29 Fox made the decision to present the Iraq war as a success. "The senior producer told the two or three writers for her news hour...'now, just keep in mind that it's all good. This is such a fair and balance issue. Keep it positive. We got to emphasize all the good we are doing".

48:43 Knowledge Networks Poll - It's a simple survey about fact regarding current events. The more likely people were to watch Fox News, the more misinformed they were and the more likely they were to back the Bush Administration.

50:49 Fox News repeats and propagates the Republican Party platform.

52:47 Election Night 2000 - The first guy to call the election for Bush was the head of Fox's New's election analyze division; Bush's first cousin. He called it a clear win, when in fact it was too close too call.

59:16 The Republican send out "the message of the day" so that conservative talk radio, Fox News, and Republican elected officials will all be talking about the same issues, in the same way.

Thank you for making this documentary.

I'm from a foreign country and started watching Fox News last year because it was available on my cable company.
Whenever they interview a politician, they put an R or a D after their name to signal the party they belong.
After a while I began to notice that there were never a Democrat politician being interviewed on that channel.
I thought that was kind of strange so I did some googling about it, and I finally ended up here.
Now everything makes sense.
I'll demand my cable company to refund my money. They have this channel in the news section, but this is not a news channel!!!

Whenever I hear the words "some people say" I know I'm about to be lied to.

[Ndesire]

Isn't it terrifying how accurate this movie is 10 years later?

[KeithCooper-Albuquerque]

Every American should watch this video, every year until this problem is fixed.

[NoelRayland]

Anyone who would conduct an interview the way O'Reilly handled his interview with Jeremy M Glick does not deserve a job on television, and any network that would respond to such an interview in any way other than firing the host does not deserve a viewer. Not one.

[bicyclist]

I have this on DVD and millions more need to see this. It's so good to see that its been uploaded to youtube. Thanks.

[LorenaAbreu]

Thank you for making this available on youtube thank you thank you

[SuperEvilC]

It's time for an updated version of this documentary.

George Carlin delivered the perfect response when he was being talked over: "I know it's a right wing network and you don't want to hear this stuff".

Fox News: The ability to report no news with the same sensationalism as if there were news.

[annepascoe]

We need a new documentary on fox as they are a hundred times worse now.

[MrReco]

We Australians also had to deal with his vile father, he was just as bad(or worse).

[clindsay]

I shudder at how much worse it is now and I'm mad as hell.

[littlejimbridger]

To defeat Fox (Murdoch, O'reilly, et al) is a worthy cause. Thanks for posting.

[nebogipfel]

Brave New Films is an American essential. Thank you.

[Ocelotl]

I will be watching this for a second time, great upload!

[Viviancanderson]

It's so sad that he went after Glick like he did. What a creep O'Rielly is. Can't believe he told this kid to shut up like that and he had just lost his dad. Then he went even further to smear him the next day. The very idea that you would do that to a bereaved family member is disgusting.

[khaledkun]

This turned out to be a lot worse than I expected.
Thanks for posting.

[yuradew]

excellent doc. and needed. I was once pro fox, until movements like this were created. With the advent of you tube and a wealth of free non- traditional media, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to believe or trust FOX or the others for that matter. Great job BNF, keep it up.
