ABSTRACT

Reports that Robert Greenwald’s documentary film "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism," has managed to be financially successful while deliberately taking an overtly political stance on the subject matter it is investigating. Murdoch’s various media interests allow him to reach approximately 4.7 billion people, about three quarters of the world’s population; Public needs to be concerned about the concentration of so much media power in Murdoch's hands.
