A mixed bag. Many of the points were excellent and convincingly demonstrated Fox's conservative bent: the pseudo-festivities for Reagan's birthday, a Bush campaigner's husband "objectively" interviewing Bush, right-slanted daily memos from the execs, and the intensely obnoxious Bill O'Reilly. However, the film was weakened by the inclusion of some trivial points and at least one ludicrous one: the fantasy that Fox was a key factor in getting the other networks to call Florida for Bush on Election Night 2000. (It goes unmentioned that Fox was actually the last network to retract Florida for Gore.)
In addition, it was clear that much of the footage was from discussion shows and was not intended as news at all, even by Fox standards. And why in the world didn't the filmmaker include even one interview with a *current* Fox News employee? Most annoying of all, the last ten minutes of the movie were a preachy incitement for the viewer to become an activist.
7/10. Worth seeing but should have been better.
