Outfoxing Faux News

Just a note to self to track down and screen Robert Greenwald's documentary, "Outfoxed," which exposes the extent to which Fox News is a massive propaganda machine. While this information about Fox is nothing new, many students seem to have little ability to discern propaganda from journalism. Based on the account of the film in "How to Make a Guerrilla Documentary," "Outfoxed" may make it onto a future syllabus, e.g., American Literature and American Culture or a composition class, in a segment devoted to media analysis.
