Faux News…or Fox Porn?
By Via Feminist Law Profs comes this interesting website/advertisement for “Outfoxed,” a documentary about how Fox News is dragging down the entire television medium. The website “Fox News Porn” exposes how Fox News consistently relies on images of scantily clad and gyrating women to titillate its conservative audience (puns intended). All of the images on the faux site were actually broadcast on Fox News.
The segments (which you can view on Outfoxed’s really well done (and provocative) site) Fox News Porn are particularly surprising (at least to me, since I never — ever — stop flipping the channels at Faux News) in light of O’Reilly’s near-constant screeds about moral values and the decline of the American social fabric. Nice to know that Murdoch’s empire is putting its money where its mouth is.
