    "If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention."

    A great documentary on right wing propoganda.

    This is a must see flick

    While watching this documentary I could not stop laughing. It has to be the funniest documentary I have ever seen. How can it call FOX news biased, which it probably is, when the documentary itself is biased. A great comedy.

    This has none of the pacing issues of Greenwald's earlier documentaries, and manages to be educational, yet still entertaining. It loses a little bit of focus towards the end (this seems to be typical of Greenwald docs), but on the whole might be his best documentary. Fair and ...( read more)balanced ;)

    This should be required viewing in all Journalism classes across the world. It is sad, terrifying, and appalling at the same time that so many Americans (proudly) proclaim they get their news from Fox. It is equally revolting how Fox manipulates the news to serve their own agenda.

    I've seen this twice, and the second time was awhile ago. I remember really liking it the first time and not liking it nearly as much the second. I agree with him that Fox sucks majorly, but the documentary itself had a lot of holes and things.

    wow, I know of course this could be as deceptive asany of Murdoch's News channel's or papers, but it did make me realise how bad it could be

    Any news network that feels the need to remind you every few minutes its news coverage is fair and balanced has a problem.

    This documentary uncovers a whole lot of dirty secrets about Rupert Murdoch's 24x7 news operation. Secret memos, daily talking points, and the fundemental u...( read more)npinnings of the Fox News operation will help you understand why producers feel the need to flash their trademark "FAIR AND BALANCED" slogan at every opportunity.

    Even if you enjoy watching Fox News, this documentary could leave you questioning everything they represent.

    The message is good, but the production is straight from the early '90s.
