Wired: "Outfoxed: A Unique Sleeper Hit "

[DBoon]

An interesting article an the DVD "Outfoxed", dealing with its success and with the whole phenomenon of direct-to-DVD documentaries as a tool for political organizing.

Quote:

Robert Greenwald's latest film, Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, went straight to video. But this documentary, which attacks Fox News' purported fair and balanced reporting, is no summer sleeper.

Greenwald's Los Angeles production company has sold more than 50,000 copies of the DVD on the Net since the film had its world premiere on July 13 at The New School University in New York City. Five days later, it was shown at more than 3,000 house parties organized by MoveOn.org.

Too late for LBN, so I posted in GD.

1. Just watched it last night...

...I've always steered clear of FOX, so I was unaware of the peculiarities of the propaganda vehicle. I'll never be able to see it on a screen without either making some remark or laughing. But then again, I don't watch the other networks either, but I know they are adopting similiar devices to advance the corpowhore agenda. Quite sad. If democracy dies, but no one is paying attention, does it matter?
