Running Time: 80 minutes

Robert Greenwald scrutinises the American news network Fox News, owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. A world where news and comment merge, and the board distributes internal memos instructing editors to broadcast only the beginning of Kerry’s speech ‘because he will start on about Iraq again…’ The Los Angeles Times writes: ‘Outfoxed paints Fox News Channel as a right wing news bully that spreads misinformation to the point of undermining democracy’.
