Very good - I pity the poor researchers who had to watch the material to make it though. The sequences on "repetition" of phrases to embed them, e.g. "Flip Flop" on Kerry, and the "some people say" way of using opinion to sound like fact, were really dead on the money...

Whilst there is obviously going to be a question mark over the testimony of ex-reporters or anchors - the production as a whole made some very valid points.

The 9/11 Squence was actually rather shocking.

Its a documentry about fox news, with interviews from ex-staff.
Looks at the spin and lies and techniques fox use to distort the truth, also highlights the fact that most of fox opinion is presented as 1000% facts.
Its rrp is £12.99 on dvd

But let's be honest, RRPs are a load of pish posh.
I stuck it on my amazon wish list but not a single considerate person bought it for me.
B*stards - everyone's got their own agenda these days.

It's RRP is what All retal shops are selling it as.

Would I be able to buy this in HMV or is it a specialist DVD that has to be ordered from specific sites?

I hate the likes of Michael Moore, and it's tempting to think of it as being in that vein, but it's a little more intelligent.

There's always an element of selectivity about these programmes - the producers set out to make a point, not look at things independently... that might just make them as bad as Fox.

You Decide!

This is very easy to get in the most dvd shops, HMV do have it.

And the other persons comment about selective storytelling, I have seen Fox broadcast live and watched some.
it makes itself look bad, it would'nt need a documentry to do that.
This is ALOT more intelligent then Michael Moore.

It's been a long time since I've bought anything from a 'retail shop' that hasn't been available online.
