Outfoxing Fox News

I bought it on Amazon and watched it tonight. If you’ve not seen it, I will strongly recommend you to see it.
The DVD also has an additional feature where Robert Greenwald (the producer and director of this documentary) discusses how he went about making it and who the participants were. It was really encouraging to see average Americans banding together to do something that they really believed in. It was interesting to find that almost “all” of the volunteers who participated in the research for this documentary were in some way or the other affected deeply by the 2000 Election fiasco. Come to think of it, President Bush’s 2000 Election apparently had some positive effect as well. These participants also have their own weblog, where they continue documenting their research findings on Fox News (or not) channel. The slogan of their blog - “We watch Fox so you don’t have to.”
Sadness, depression and downright anger were some of the emotions that I went through while watching this documentary.
