Outfoxed
is a very informative but terribly depressing documentary about how the people who run Fox News are a bunch of right-wing slugs who bitch and moan about how they're "fair and balanced" but in fact just shill for the Republican Party. The film includes internal memos obtained by the filmmakers as well as on-camera interviews with former Fox employees—their identities carefully concealed—who talk about how their bosses used to boost the pro-Dubya angle on everything. A better film would have focused on why Fox News is so damn popular despite pushing the Neanderthal line, but
