Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism should be viewed by all Americans. It should be viewed to show once and for all how harmful Fox News has been since the beginning of its existence as the eminent flagship of the misinformation, propaganda, and fanaticism seemingly innate with modern American conservatism these days.
If there is one thing that is so striking about Fox News' inception, its organization, and the people that work there is that how shallow the entire operation actually is. Nothing is meant for genuine journalism to be accomplished and there is no effort being made to separate facts from opinion. If there is one thing that can be commended about Robert Greenwald's documentary, it does a bang-up job of explaining how dangerous the latter practice is to our democratic process and to how people participate in said process because Fox News and its bogus reporting influences their belief-system and their decision-making.
On one level, it is admirable from a Machiavellian point of view to consider what Murdoch, Roger Ailes, and their conservative allies have accomplished with Fox News and its "fair and balanced" brand of delivering the news to millions of Americans who then proceed to shape American politics and government as according to what the former had in mind from the beginning. Yes it is evil but the audacity of it all is almost too incredible to completely write off.
