LEAKED FOX NEWS E-MAIL SHOWS EFFORT BY FOX TO PUSH GOP AGENDA OPPOSING HEALTH CARE REFORM

Why doesn't Fox news just come right out and admit they are a cheer leading arm of the political right ? Come on . First, News Corp., owner of the Fox network, gave $1 million in late June to the Republican Governors Association . Second, Fox news has almost the entire Republican 2008 presidential line up employed on it's station . Now thanks to a leaked e-mail, turns out Fox "news" executives have been encouraging it's talking heads to do negative stories to defeat health care . This is not the first time . I strongly recommend people view a documentary called "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism " .It's a 2004 documentary film by filmmaker Robert Greenwald that criticizes the Fox News Channel, and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, claiming that the channel is used to promote and advocate right-wing views. Surprised ? I don't think anyone is except the people who watch that garbage . The film says this pervasive bias contradicts the channel's claim of being "Fair and Balanced", and argues that Fox News has been engaging in what amounts to consumer fraud. The documentary was not released theatrically, but rather was distributed in DVD format by the Political action committee MoveOn.org, and sold online through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com, where it was a top-seller in July 2004. Before you say " Moveon.org , their biased I'm not going to watch that ! " . Understand, in this film are allot and I mean allot of former Fox and Bush employees who are still conservative today .
