Outfoxed Screening

Attend a free screening of the controversial film "OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"

"Under normal circumstances the media dissects controversial issues, but now the media itself is under scrutiny. While Outfoxed strives to expose Fox News as a network with a conservative agenda, many claim that other mainstream media sources are too liberal.

Is it possible to present a story in an unbiased manner? How are and who determines what stories are newsworthy? When the media is being used as the mouthpiece of the government, how does this influence the public? Does the media distinguish between commentary and fact? How does this affect our perception of events?"

Free Screenings Will Be Held:
Tues, Aug 24, 6 pm - Ron's Barbershop, 6041 W. North Ave, OAK PARK
Thurs, Aug 26, 7 pm - Budlong Woods Branch, 5630 N. Lincoln Ave
Sat, Aug 28, 1 pm - Lincoln Belmont Branch, 1659 W. Melrose St
Sun, Aug 29, 7 pm, Chicago Filmmakers, 5243 N. Clark St (donation suggested)
