About the Director
Robert Greenwald is the leading director of issue oriented documentary films, including Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Uncovered: The Whole Truth About The Iraq War, The Real McCain, and Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers.

Product Description
The genre-busting documentary hit that started the flood of issue-oriented documentaries is back, just in time for another crazed season of political news coverage in the build up to the 2008 presidential election. The original film is just as relevant and necessary today as it was in 2004, supplemented by over an hour of additional material, including the infamous Fox Attacks, a series of 18 short videos that continues the work started in Outfoxed, highlighting examples of Fox's biased, dishonest journalism. The videos were created to support campaigns, petitions, and legislation.


Each Fox Attacks short is supplemented by illuminating commentary exclusive to this DVD from Robert Greenwald and the producers of the films.


Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, have been running a race to the bottom in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well researched documentary!, February 22, 2009

By	Robert J. Pfeilsticker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Outfoxed isn't aesthetically pleasing as far as cinematography or visual effects. My guess is the budget went to research and fact checking. What the film lacks in imagery, it makes up for in credible interviewees and the profound sound bites they provide.

One main theme I took from the film is the concept that Fox News claims to be the leader in fair & balanced journalism, when it is proven time and again to be incredibly unfair and remarkably unbalanced; so much so that one can hardly call it journalism. Unfortunately, Fox's technique proves to be good for ratings, causing other networks to loosely follow Fox's lead in the industry, thereby "outfoxing" other networks and incidentally, their viewers.

It's not as fun to watch as a Michael Moore piece, but it's much less slanted and much more serious; therefore (in my opinion) more credible. It is a MUST SEE for those dedicated to Fox News. Challenge yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see!!!, January 23, 2009

By	Nhean D. Chea "Dawance" (Logan, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great film. It shows the bias of Fox, and how corrupt today's media is.

The "special features" section includes: an intro by Robert Greenwald, behind the scenes of Outfoxed, catching up with the news hounds, and DVD credits.
The "Fox attacks" section are clips made by Fox attacks, they include: Obama, Black America, Fox Attacks! and the Fox Democratic debate, Environment, and Fox is WRONG! Global Warming. All of which can be seen on their website.

I highly recommend this to people of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Fox distorts the news., November 23, 2008

By	Charles T. Bell (Holly Hill, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well done video, carefully illustrating how Fox News(?) distorts and repackages the news. Fox news has an agendum that is it put the news on the way they want to portray it and only the news they want you to see. The spinmeisters at Fox are unbelievable until you see this movie and the way they will outright lie as well. I highly recommend this movie to all Americans.
