The site News Hounds is a spin off of his Outfoxed project.

6. I just received a flyer last night at a vigil for the troops
that is for his movie "WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price". It says that they are showing the movie simultaneously in 1,900 locations around the country. Then they will give you a copy of the film to show to other people. It is being held at a Catholic University here in Michigan. I thought it sounded very interesting. This is the first I heard of him, but he wrote three books, too. "Uncovered", "Unconstitutional", and "Outfoxed".

11. I was not aware of Catholic involvement
Though I can't see why the church wouldn't want to do something good for a change...
