This documentary offers an incisive examination into the media empires, spearheaded by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, and how they have been driving a "race to the bottom" in television news. Through interviews with media experts like Jeff Cohen, Bob McChesney, Chellie Pingree, Jeff Chester, and David Brock, the film delves into the dangerous consequences of having one individual controlling a significant portion of the media landscape. As the narrative progresses, it unveils the inner workings of Fox News, revealing how former employees were coerced to adhere to a right-wing perspective or risk losing their jobs. Some of these ex-Fox personnel choose anonymity for fear of professional repercussions, highlighting the lack of journalistic integrity within the network.
