MoveOn Targets Fox News in Latest 'Bias' Wars Battle

MoveOn Targets Fox News in Latest 'Bias' Wars Battle: "NEW YORK Just as press coverage of the Michael Moore film 'Fahrenheit 9/11' starts to fade, another partisan project targeting conservatives was announced today, this one aimed at Fox News.

The activist group MoveOn.org has produced a documentary film called 'Outfoxed' that, it claims, 'exposes Fox for what it is: partisan spin, not news.' The film purportedly includes interviews with seven ex-Fox News employees 'who describe how, every day, highly partisan talking points are drawn up to influence newscasts.' "

We're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas. - Natalie Maines, London 2003

I think this is one of the most important films ever
made. It has the potential of actually affecting the
election, and if it does, it will change the world.
There are very few films or works of art that have
a profound effect on world affairs, but this actually
has the chance to change the world.
- Rob Reiner Director/Actor (FilmStew, June 10, 2004)

Not only is it inspiring and educating, but it's proof that people can make a difference, that we can make a difference, - Madonna (MTV, June 17, 2004)

I think a lot more people who are on the fence about who to vote for will get galvanized after watching the film. Young people didn't vote in the last election, which was the main problem. If you're a young person you've got to get as many people registered to vote, and then get them to vote for their candidate. - Leonardo DiCaprio (The New York Daily News)

...the most anticipated movie opening of the summer arguably isn't Spiderman II or Harry Potter, but Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911," a documentary carefully calculated to have as much anti-Bush impact as its filmmaker can manage. - Geov Parrish, WorkingForChange.com (06.11.04)

Bush, thanks to Fahrenheit 9/11, will be recalled as the guy who blinked, hesitated ...and lost the war he started - Antonia Zerbisias, Toronto Star (06.13.04)

If you want to be part of the national debate, Fahrenheit 9/11 is must-see cinema.
- James Verniere, Boston Herald (06.22.04)

...even for the material thatâs been explored in other books and films, Fahrenheit 9/11 just begs to be seen. Itâs too hilarious, too chilling, too clever, and too terrifying in its own right to be dismissed as a purely partisan, purely personal attack on the president and his policies.
- Dilshad D. Ali, Islam-Online (07.05.04)

...it vents an anger about this presidency that, as the film's ardent reception shows, seethes in very many of us. - Stanlet Kauffmann, New Republic (07.09.04)

It could well be the first film to turn a vote. It uses the medium of fiction, the big screen, as a medium of fact, and it's overwhelming.
- Alex James, The Observer (07.11.04)

Today it is rare for an artist to succeed in making such an intervention, and in interrupting the prepared, prevaricating statements of politicians.
- John Berger, The Guardian (08.24.04)
