CABLE WAR: FOX NEWS VOWS TOP FIGHT BACK AGAINST RIVALS WHO TOUT DOCUMENTARY

**Exclusive**

A new documentary claiming to show Republican bias at FOX NEWS will debut in New York City on Monday. But FOX NEWS executives are preparing to hit back hard -- if rivals self-servingly hype the film!

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned that FOX NEWS executives are lining up a parade of employees who formerly worked at CNN & MSNBC and have been downloading information on how editorial decisions are made at these networks, including the agenda for how stories are supposed to be covered.

A senior FOX NEWS executive tells DRUDGE: "We have enough ammunition to nail both MSNBC & CNN." Sources say FOX is prepared to go public with these accounts if necessary.

Elsewhere, the NY TIMES magazine on Sunday is planning a detailed expose on the FOX NEWS movie, and the question of the documentary's fair use of footage broadcast on FOX NEWS.

The doc makers have gone the Michael Moore route, sources tell DRUDGE, and are using material apparently grabbed from satellite feeds -- material that was not seen over FOX NEWS air!

One on those "intercepted" feeds has FOX reporter Carl Cameron chatting off-air with Bush during the last campaign, a source claims.

So they are going to use material that was never broadcasted over the air waves as proof that FOX is biased? Ok is this dude another Michael Moore copy cat making another documentary thats not quite a documentary?

I think that even conservatives admit that Fox News is very biased. Am I wrong, or did Neil Cavuto once say on the air, "Am I biased? You're damn right I am!"

There are fringe news outlets on both sides of the aisle. Fox News happens to be one of them.

First I've heard of this...

Not sure what I feel about a tit-for-tat between News Networks over bias and Integrity...I feel that the real priorities in News will be somehow lost in this inter-network bickering, and that Fox will attempt to absolve itself by saying "well, other networks have done this too", which of course, is misleading (even to Fox) and beside the point. I somehow fear any truth will be the first victim, and viewers will be the worse for it...

OTOH, perhaps this will be illuminating for the Public to see (perhaps inadvertently) how News is "manufactured" by all the US Networks...and we may all be the wiser for it...

Interesting...

it could be relevant, though. what if it's a reporter discussing how the managing editor told him to hype a certain aspect of the story, or leave out another part?

Here is the website for the movie. You can see a trailer there. Sounds pretty good.
