When and where is the Fox news press conference?
I read here that at least four former Fox News employees would have an embarrassing outing of Fox.

Can someone alert me to this. Will it be on C-span?

Very interested..

6. "outing is a euphermism..............
for any exposing. It is not just a term reserved for gays. In fact the word "gay" is not reserved for just gays.

Valarie Plame was outed by Novak as a CIA operative.

You see, I have a broader interpretation of the English language than some others, who see things more narrowly.

4. faux is being outed as the mouthpiece for the bush regime that it is
by former employees. There is a documentary coming out, featuring footage from the network as well as interviews with former employees, which exposes faux's rw spin.

Some info on this at drudge, if you feel like wading into that sewer.

5. Posted this Sat. but got no replies
Here is an article from the NYT's Sunday magazine that FOX tried to stifle.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/11/magazine/11FOX.html

snip:
''Outfoxed'' has been made in secret. The film is an obsessively researched expose of the ways in which Fox News, as Greenwald sees it, distorts its coverage to serve the conservative political agenda of its owner, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. It features interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos written by Fox executives and extensive footage from Fox News, which Greenwald is using without the network's permission. The result is an unwavering argument against Fox News that combines the leftist partisan vigor of a Michael Moore film with the sober tone and delivery of a PBS special. A large portion of the film's $300,000 budget came in the form of contributions in the range of $80,000 from both MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the liberal policy organization founded by John Podesta, the former chief of staff for Bill Clinton; Greenwald, who is not looking to earn any money from the project, provided the rest.

7. Just ordered my copy.
Trailer looks great, and at $9.99 you can afford to buy a copy for your local library, as well.

10. Me too!
This will certainly be interesting to see. After I view it, I'll lend to my sister. She used to be a true Faux fan, but she's starting to see the light. This should help.

9. If you go to Moveon.org
you can go to a house party screening in your area, or sign up to have a house party screening.
