The director of 2004’s smash hit documentary Outfoxed: Rupert
Murdoch’s War on Journalism teams with journalist Alexandra Kitty in
an even more detailed and updated examination of how media empires,
led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a “race to the
bottom” in television news. They examine media consolidation by
focusing on the Fox News Channel: How did Fox gain prominence? How did
the Fox News Channel gain audiences and influence public debate? How
does Fox report reality? Is the network merely interpreting events or
is it pushing propaganda? Who are the main players and how do they
treat their friends and enemies? Why should readers care about how Fox
takes liberties with its facts? Each chapter blends interviews from
Greenwald’s documentary, transcripts from Fox programs, and other
research pertaining to Fox News not only to illustrate the Fox
“mentality,” but also to show the factual, ethical and structural
problems with the news channel. Interviews and transcripts are
analyzed to give readers a strong sense of what Fox is actually
telling its audiences.
