Have you seen "Outfoxed?"
If so, is it worth buying as enjoyable movie?

(not just to support liberal movies)

1. I have not, but...
there are Outfoxed parties you can attend this Sunday, depending on where you live. I think moveon.org has a link to do a search for them in your area.

I missed the premier here in San Francisco last night. I am also curious to hear if it is good or not.

4. I have seen it
and it quite good. Definitely worth more than the $10.00

And, following the lead of someone else who didn't want to be a spoiler, I'm not going to give a more specific review until after tomorrow night.

5. I enjoyed it
but i'm a political junkie. They showed the O'Really Jeremy Glick interview (the one where O'Really tells the son on a 9/11 victim to shut up) along with commentary from Glick and Al Franken. A section was devoted to the leaked memos. One particularly entertaining section involves Fox's use of the phrase "some people say" as a way to get editorial comment into news stories. Plus there is commentary from Bob McChesney, David Brock, John Nichols, Eric Alterman, and many others, including former Fox employees and three anonymous Fox employees.

10. Got my copy yesterday and watched it....
Edited on Sat Jul-17-04 12:08 PM by hlthe2b
While I found it very interesting, much of what is contained I knew and already appreciated, even though I no longer get Faux on cable (and wouldn't watch if I did).

However, the reason while I think it is worth purchasing, is to have it on hand to show to friends/family members who are caught up in the Faux phenomenon, and for whatever reason, fail to recognize the manipulation that is their stock and trade.

The pieces on O'Reilly, alone are scathing and very revealing to those who have bought into his BS.

Plus, at $9.95, plus minimal shipping, I consider it a fairly small donation to the greater good and I doubt there would ever be an issue if one were to make VHS or DVD duplicates for friends/family. Greenwald has as much as said he has recouped the production costs and only wants to get it out there...
