"ABC, CBS, NBC got obama elected"? No, G.W Bush's failed and disturbingly corrupt policies got him elected. These networks you mention are nothing even comparable to Fox "News". They're just sensationalist network like most are today, of course there's some opinion but it's absolutely insignificant in proportion and comparison with Fox whose broadcasts are stupifying the american people on a daily basis. You say that the documentary is financed by Murdoch's archenemy, I'm sure you're right but does that make any of the content not featuring former employees (like statistics and actual takes from Fox) any less true? Does it? What a missjudgement. “ABC, CBS, NBC got obama elected”? No, G.W Bush’s failed and disturbingly corrupt policies got him elected.

He admitted that Fox News Evening addition presentation was Opinions and is meant for entertainment not "news" and that they are commentators not journalists. When questioed if this was "right" he said he thought that it was alright as long as it is clear that the information is opinion only. I dont think that their dedicated viewers realize this at all, they quote Fox news as if it were the gospel. He said that Americans want entertainment and they need to give the American people what they want. I asked MoveOn to find the video and post this portion where he is admitting that it is "Opinion" only. It is wrong to intentionally deceive the American People and I wish something could be done about it. They should be required to announce that this is only OPINION at the beginning of the show.

THANK YOU for "getting it"! So refreshing to see people who can actually think outside the box. I especially appreciate the comment made about the unknown "truth" about 9/11, indeed, after we spend trillions on wars for profits into the Halliburton's of the world (that's another thing, Halliburton never mentioned anywhere out there in media, the inconvenient truth conveiently buried purposely) The media, after all, are being paid off by industry pundits and its been the way through the years to keep the majority of the American people in the dark, to manipulate their minds, play on their emotions. This politically polarized nation so war torn, families cannot even gather to chat without some political comment pissing each other off. Why don't one of YOU run for President, that would solve all our problems, as our present incumbent seems bent on using the rhetoric like a puppet on a string "we are fighting for freedom and security".

I'd say though, the moral of your insight is, whether we see "far left" or "far right" does not quite matter, both sides of political spectrum seemingly as corrupt as the other (although I personally think the so called "conservatives" more corrupt than "liberals". It's like two rabid wolves fighting over a wounded animal, the latter being we, the American people. Everybody here is smart, we all need to google things on our own time after reading the crap in newspapers, make our own conclusions based on sound research....but then the research can get skewed too. It's like going to the "best Hemotologist" in the area and realizing he gave us a remedy not quite in line with our genetic make-up/family history, and need to do our homework. Oh no R2D2, I fear we are all doomed! “Truth has no agenda”….you bring up some very valid points indeed.

You lose any credibility you might have had because of leaving out that VERY IMPORTANT fact. It's like saying 'doctors' say smoking is good for you when the 'doctors' are getting paid by the big tobacco companies to say that. Why don't you do a 'documentary' on how far far left wing progressive MSNBC is? And have far left CNN is? After all Ted Turner was married to Hanoi Jane so we know he is far far left too. What is you point? ABC, CBS, NBC (got Obama elected), CNN & MSNBC are FAR left and Fox is conservative right? so what? Fox doesn't hide it all the other networks hide it. They will never admit they are far left. For the uninformed who don't know George Soros just Google George Soros and see what comes up. Worlds 35th richest evil man and 14th richest American. He is worth 14 billion+ and controls another 30-40 billion of other peoples money. He is Rupert Murdock arch enemy. He pays 100 so called 'journalist' to do nothing but attack Fox News. The organization is Media Matters. In several countries in the world call Soros an economic terrorist and if he were to step foot in their country again he would be arrested and executed. He broke the Bank of England in 1992 and made 1 billion dollars in 1 day. He backs over 500 way left progressive organizations around the world. Since 1979 he has spent $7 billion dollars funding those groups to get what he wants done. So to leave out the fact this was paid for by Soros gives away your agenda which is no where near the truth.

They also fail to acknowledge that although Murdoch is fairly 'conservative', he recognizes himself as 'liberal' in some publications and many of his press outlets are liberal. So the real evil, here, is not that he's selling any one viewpoint en masse, but that he's playing ALL the cards.
