[Killarney]

If CNN & MSNBC were smart... they'd publicize this all day.

Press Conference Monday, Film Premiere Tuesday
The public relations campaign for Outfoxed is beginning. "At a New York press conference this coming Monday, four former Fox News employees will go on the record to expose Fox's persistent Republican partisan bias, while releasing internal memorandums from Fox News Channel showing executive level instructions to Fox on how to bias the news," a media advisory from MoveOn.org and the Center for American Progress says. On Tuesday, the official film premiere will take place in NYC, along with a "panel on media consolidation and reform" including Arianna Huffington and Eric Alterman.

1. This NEEDS to be news!!

Holy crap! Somebody needs to be all over this! Wish I had the ability to make that happen...

[thebigidea]

2. they'll spin this as "advertising for MoveOn... who compared W to Hitler!"

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. Can anyone guess the response?

Once again, the charges won't be addressed or countered. But the whistleblowers will be labeled and dismissed as: "Disgruntled ex-employees."

Hope I have time to watch it!

6. There may be some mysterious "accidents" between now and the press confere

[ObaMania]

11. Agreed...

.. too bad it will probably be low-level employees or not high profile news anchors who will be speaking out Like Paula Zahn (now w/ CNN) or David Schuster (now with MSNBC).

Hopefully Olbermann will pick up on this and run w/ it on Countdown.

8. You know

If they want to have a news channel with a republican bias then I'm fine with that, but they better damn well state that clearly and not pretend to be unbiased mainstream news.

12. During Bush's term, Fox has lost all image of objectivity among the people

The more we say "right-wing Fox News" the better. People will not trust such an overtly ideological source, except those who've already bought in.
