Tilting at the Right, Leaning to the Left
Robert Greenwald's 'Outfoxed' Has Its Own Slant on Balance

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, July 11, 2004; Page D01

Robert Greenwald, an admirer of Michael Moore, is trying to give Fox News Channel the kind of cinematic spanking that Moore just delivered to President Bush in "Fahrenheit 9/11."
      
"Fox is not a conservative network, it's a Republican network," and its fair-and-balanced slogan is "ridiculous," the Los Angeles director says in explaining why he sought funding from two liberal groups -- and took out a loan -- to make the documentary "Outfoxed."

But Greenwald, whose last movie was "Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War," makes no effort at fairness or balance himself. Not only did he avoid contacting Fox, and indulge in some misleading editing, but the film also features a parade of the network's liberal detractors -- including Al Franken, Vermont Rep. Bernie Sanders, the group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting and out-of-the-closet liberal columnist Walter Cronkite.

And a follow-up:

Too Late to Comment?
Fox: N.Y. Times Didn't Call Until Last Minute
Did the New York Times Magazine try to sandbag Fox News?
We report, you decide.

Irena Briganti, a Fox spokeswoman, says she called an editor at the magazine to complain that the network had been given only 24 hours to comment for a piece on the documentary "Outfoxed" being published today.

She says the editor, James Ryerson, told her: "We made a deal." Taken aback, Briganti says, she asked him to explain. "He said it was part of the deal we made with the subject that we would hold off on contacting you" until shortly before deadline.

Asked about the exchange, Ryerson says: "I can't remember what exact conversation we had. We certainly contacted Fox News and gave them plenty of time. . . . She may have misunderstood something."

"He's completely lying," Briganti says.
