Will "Outfoxed" Piss me off?
I rented it. Not sure I want to upset myself on a Saturday night. Oh well fuck it.

2. Nothing we don't already
know. It's not new to us but it is altogether.

3. YOU BET
Some people say/some people say/people say/a lot of people say/some people say/a lot of people say/people are saying/some people say...

You'll get it when you see it.

5. I felt that I was well informed--until I saw it!
Mrs. IconCat and I were yelling and throwing things throughout. She wanted to burn O'Really in effigy after it was over. Hell, yes, it will piss you off.

6. You know, even though you *know* how fucked up Fox is, seeing it
all at once is kinda...breathtaking.

Enjoy!

7. The network that cancelled "Firefly"...
...after airing several episodes out of their intended order could not help be anything but evil.

8. Right. Like the Hindenberg disaster
it has a kind of awe-inspiring majesty all it's own.

There was absolutely nothing in it that was new to me, but seeing it all compressed into a single documentary just about gave me chest pains.

I recommend something lighter for Saturday night viewing -- like an Adam Sandler flick or something. Save Outfoxed for a weeknight.

10. If you've ever watched FNC....
and were irked by its content, you'll like "Outfoxed." It really helps you understand the shitty feeling you get when watching those assholes. It didn't make me mad; it helped me understand why Fox News bothers me so much. I found it refreshing.

"Orwell Rolls in His Grave" is a really good one too; an excellent accompaniment to "Outfoxed."

12. I feel sick whenever I turn it on
Esp. Hannity w/ his head-tilting, pen-pointing demeanor. Why'd I rent it again? :-)

11. It will anger you, but that will be motivating
I think it's dispicable what the media has turned into, hopefully documentaries like this will help turn the tide and replace propaganda with truth.

13. I thought it would be intolerable to watch, but it wasn't
I don't have cable or satellite TV, so, thankfully, I am never exposed to FOX News.

Having seen it elsewhere, however, I really didn't think I would be able to watch it, but it isn't that long and it is funny to see Bill O'Lielly respond to a caller who complains about him saying "Shut Up" and then he says he only said it once.

ROFLMAO. They have film of that idiot saying "Shut Up" "Shut Up" "Shut Up" "Shut Up" "Shut Up" "Shut Up"!

14. It didn't piss me off......
It just put everything that is ridiculous about FOX (and a lot of corporate media) into one easy to digest hour and a half.

It could be classified as a comedy if it weren't non-fiction.
