Of Foxes and Guerrillas [1]
Submitted by Diane Farsetta [2] on
Robert Greenwald employs "a 'guerrilla' method of documentary filmmaking, creating timely political films on short schedules and small budgets and then promoting and selling them ... through partnerships with grass-roots political organizations like MoveOn.org [3]." His latest, "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch [4]'s War on Journalism," includes "interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos ... and extensive footage from Fox News [5], which Greenwald is using without the network's permission." Greenwald worked with "a team of media volunteers ... who monitored Fox News 24 hours a day for months." While praising "Outfoxed," Don Hazen asks [6], "Do we run the danger of making Fox News appear more powerful than it is?" In any case, Fox News has gone ballistic [7] over the film. If you want to see it, MoveOn is sponsoring screenings at theaters [8] and house parties [9] throughout the United States.
