Guardian Unlimited Film | Fox News documentary tops Amazon sales chart

Guardian Unlimited Film | News | Fox News documentary tops Amazon sales chart: "The controversial US documentary, Outfoxed, which claims to uncover the Republican bias of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, has become the top-selling DVD on Amazon.com, as the liberal political campaign behind the film gathers pace in the US.
The number one ratings come as the liberal campaigning group MoveOn.org, which contributed - 43,000 to Outfoxed's - 163,000 budget, took out a full-page advert in the New York Times, declaring: 'The Communists had Pravda. Republicans Have Fox'.
Film-maker Robert Greenwald's documentary, which does not yet have a theatrical release deal and is only available to buy via the internet, has outsold movies including The Passion of the Christ, Cold Mountain and Starsky & Hutch since going on sale last week.
Amazon has ordered more than 6,200 copies of Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, which has shot to the number one spot in the online retailer's DVD sales list, according to Variety."
