''Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism'' is a 2004 documentary film by filmmaker Robert Greenwald that says Fox News Channel and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, promote and advocate right-wing views. The film says this bias belies the channel's motto of being "Fair and Balanced". The documentary had a limited theatrical release, was distributed in DVD format by the Political action committee MoveOn.org, and was sold online through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com.〔 MoveOn.org had helped promote the DVD release by taking out a full-page advertisement in ''The New York Times''. Following the release of Outfoxed, Greenwald and Brave New Films produced a related series of anti-Fox viral videos, collectively entitled Fox Attacks. In an interview, Greenwald stated that his goal in making the film: "What we set out to do was to show that, in fact, the entire Fox News was not a news organization. The goal was not just to change that narrative but to change the impact that Fox News often had on legitimate journalists."〔http://nymag.com/news/frank-rich/robert-greenwald-outfoxed-2014-2/〕 ==Synopsis== The film examines the global growth of Murdoch's media enterprise in the context of concentration of media ownership considerations, and evaluates the effect of having one person in control of a large media conglomerate on freedom of the press.〔 Some of ''Outfoxeds coverage includes: *Review of Fox News's coverage during the lead-up to, and the aftermath of, the 2003 invasion of Iraq. *Interviews with former Fox News journalists, discussing incidents where Fox News allegedly pressured journalists to slant their reports towards support for the Republican Party.〔 *Instances where Fox News commentators such as Bill O'Reilly intimidate guests with whom they disagree, such as author and activist Jeremy Glick. *Studies which claim more airtime and coverage is consistently given to Republican politicians, particularly those in the George W. Bush administration, than to Democrats.〔 *Examination of whether Fox News' premature result-calling of the 2000 presidential election contributed to George W. Bush officially being elected.〔 *Scrutiny of Fox News management, including Murdoch and president Roger Ailes, both conservatives, in allegedly controlling the network's content, and editorial control from Murdoch down allegedly ensuring which stories and issues are covered and the strongly conservative perspective of such coverage.〔 Former Fox News journalists appear in the film critiquing the methods and perceived integrity of their former employer.〔 Jon Du Pre, a former reporter for Fox News's West Coast bureau, said that he had been suspended by Fox News management because his live shots from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Ronald Reagan's birthday — which Du Pre described was like a "holy day" to Fox News's hierarchy — were not "celebratory enough." A former Fox News military contributor, Larry C. Johnson, said that he was in high demand to give on-air analysis on the "War on Terrorism", until he called into question on ''Hannity & Colmes'' whether or not the United States could fight two wars (in Afghanistan and Iraq) simultaneously, an incident after which Johnson says he was ignored as a potential Fox News contributor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outfoxed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
