I'm watching Outfoxed right now...
I'm a Canadian and i'm glad to say that we don't get Fox news here.
The only information i had about that crap channel,until today was coming from blogs,Michael Moore and Al Franken books, streaming video clips and DU. OMG! I can't believe how fascist and propagandist that station is! I just seen about half of the documentary,so see you later.

4. how old are you? I just heard something intresting on CBC radio
the birthrate in Canada is down, so they're considering making immigration for young couples easier.

My wife and I almost meet the points required for immigration... a few French classes and we're in :)

8. See you there
Here is a list of employers:

The yearly quota is up to about 450,000 immigrants now and it takes fewer points to get in.

3. anyone know what their copying/piracy policy is?
I'm dling it now, and I'd share the link only if it was okay with the owners.

(guessing this may be like F911 where the owner just wants it seen, and doens't care all that much about the $$$)

7. I watched it last night
I think my favorite part was when O'Reilly was claiming that he didn't tell people to "shut up" followed by all the clips of him doing just that. I also liked the part where he was "interviewing" the person who lost his father on 9/11 (I think his name was Jeremy Glick?).

13. It's better than "uncovered" because it's funnier
The funniest parts, of course, are taken straight from Fox news broadcasts. Could have done with some tighter edits and more extensive use of Fox clips. As Michael Moore has shown, you don't need to say a thing to make the RW look stupid. They do it fine all by themselves.

23. Seen it with friends last week
About 75% through I was so pissed off that I was really ready for the movie to end.

There is a reason I don't watch FOX. I'd be mistaken for a bulimic.

26. I literally got sick to my stomach watching O'Reilly in "Outfoxed."
Even though I need no convincing about the sorry state of Faux News, I bought a copy of the DVD simply to support it.

I was watching Outfoxed up until the segment of O'Reilly trying to shout down Jeremy Glick (with Glick hanging in like a trouper), and I could feel my gut begin to seriously churn.

I spent the next three hours running back and forth to the bathroom. Now, it might have been something I ate, but the timing of my distress was certainly specific! :puke:
