MoveOn.org (www.moveon.org.) has launched a campaign to help expose the Fox News for what it is—conservative spin, not news. The team behind OUTFOXED (www.outfoxed.org) created a system to monitor Fox News 24 hours a day for months noting examples of bias in its coverage. Immediately following the screening of OUTFOXED ( 8pm ) there will be an online, interactive conference with Al Franken and the director of OUTFOXED, Robert Greenwald. This is subject to access ability. This is an informal gathering and Latitude is fairly kid friendly environment, so don’t hesitate to bring future voters along.
