"It's unfair, it's slanted and it's a hit job. And I haven't even seen it yet."
"rank propaganda ... the distorted work of an ultra-liberal filmmaker"
"a third-rate hack job"
"a cheesy little so-called documentary about FOX News Channel, given the cutesy title 'Outfoxed.'"
"Bring it on!"
"To say that this network promotes the Republican view, not the conservative view, but the Republican view is like saying that the pope is Catholic. It's self-evident."
"They're on somewhat solid ground when they talk about -- if you look at some of the talk shows, the conservative hosts are much better at demonizing the Democrats than the liberal hosts of those shows."

The Observer, Philip French (December 12, 2004)
Shocked by the 2000 presidential election, the prolific movie and TV producer Robert Greenwald has devoted himself to political documentaries. This devastating two-hour expose uses former staffers of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, a battery of monitors across America and the testimony of media observers to show how totally false are the TV network's tags - 'Fair and Balanced' and 'We Report. You Decide'. The film indicts Murdoch (who despises journalists and honest journalism), his henchmen - rabid, right-wing broadcasters and craven producers - for poisoning the wells of political debate in America by distortions, misrepresentations and downright lies in support of Bush and hostility to liberalism. It is also a call to action.
