Stop the porn on Fox News: a new offering from Brave New Films ("Outfoxed")
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 10:33 AM by ificandream
Here is the latest effort from Brave New Films. It's a great compilation of gratuitous sex clips from Fox News that demonstrate how Fox aims for the lowest common denominator. The link includes a petition to the FCC to protest that cable viewers should not have to pay for Fox's pandering to the dirty old men in its audience.

1. Good film, have had the DVD for some time. Not surprising about Fox, eom.

3. What's really ironic ...
... is that a few of my relatives are conservative and very religious. If they were watching this shit on another channel, they'd turn it off immediately. But because it's Fox News, it stays. Weird.

4. Not "wierd". It's been the M.O. of the phony righteous for centuries.

7. Not weird, but ...

Unfortunately, a lot of people actually believe this stuff. I mean sincerely believe it. That's the case here. Oh well. The best I can do is try to help re-educate them. :-)

11. You know I could be wrong but have not got overly concerned with Fox
or Limpballs, etc, the other idiot RW extremists. The people I know that watch Fox on a serious and all the time basis are pretty much warped like a board, no way to bend it back in its true form. They are gone as far as I am concerned. People I know that listen to all forms and brands of communication have the ability to form a intellectual and comprehensive opinion about things of importance and take limpballs and Fox with a grain of salt. It actually is laughable at times what they say and do. If their listeners only knew they were being force fed and treated like the actual idiots they are.

Maybe their message is spread more than I think but think about yourself, you don't buy any of it, I don't and the people I know that do are never going to change so they are preaching to the choir as they say, not many converts.

I hope anyway, let me know if you think I am way off based on this because this is the way I have always looked at it.

2. As a "dirty old man" in good standing, allow me to assure you ...
... that Fox is NOT pandering to me in the slightest.

5. Bill O loves his 'b-roll' and Fixed Noise has more than their fair share of news bimbos
Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 10:38 AM by NightWatcher
yet another fair and balanced offering from the Family Values group. I cant wait till one of these guys gets caught with a male escort.

12. This is not in reference to The movie Outfoxed but another piece made by the same people
If anyone clicks the link in the OP they will see another piece about Fix News. I am no prude by any standard but I was SHOCKED to see the shameless gratuity on that channel. It's a lot of Girls Gone Wild images- stuff that you only see late at night usually. Shameless in how loosely connected it was to what they were talking about. Shameless in how it was often showing gratuitous images for stories against that sort of thing. My senior parents have Fox News on all of the time like a Drs office, now I see it's for more than just the views they like. Damn. I don't have kids but I never thought that I would have to keep them from the "News".

Seriously watch the video. It's amazing.
