This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public’s right to know. The film explores Rupert Murdoch’s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. This documentary includes interviews with former Fox employees who talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. (77 mins)
