Out Foxed

Fox news channel will never be the same to me again, this movie really had an influence on my thoughts about news. As we are stressed to in class media is a powerul thing, whether we feel it is to us or not, it effects us in some way shape or form. The video about fox news we saw in class was unbelievable to me, I could not grasp the thought of controlling news like they do, cutting out parts of news like fox does. My grandparents always have on the fox news channel whenever I would go over there, and I can remember listening to the television while eating dinner and being blown away by some of their news stories. But now that I know there was another side to some of the incredible stories I heard really set me back. So many things I believed and would talk about could of been not as true as I thought they were. Persoally this made me feel rediculous, like I was being lied to and therefore I was lying to others when I would talk about what I had Seen or heard. Another part of that movie that really set me back when O'Reilley, as I talked about in a previous blog of mine I was raised with respect for my elders and everyone around me. Eventhough you dont' agree with someone, or do not like what they are saying you never be-little them because you think you are right. O'Reilley has no respect for anyone, at all, I mean I can't say I had ever heard anything about the man before to think he was great or anything but now I think he is a terrible man and should not have his job at all. All in all this film was very good to see and I learned a lot about how you can not always believe the media because what they are telling you can easily be cut or mis interpreted depending on the subject.
