The Hollywood Left strikes again. Joining the election year procession of partisanship is Robert Greenwald Productions, whose previous flicks include ”Steal This Movie,” a biography of the late arch-radical activist, Abbie Hoffman, “Crooked E,” a made for TV film about the Enron scandal and ”Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War.” The company is in the process of premiering its latest film called “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism.”

The movie is an alleged expose of how Fox News is biased toward the conservative viewpoint of Rupert Murdoch. It features leaked policy memos, footage of FNC anchors in action and interviews with former Fox employees.

As he has done with certain films in the past, Greenwald is marketing his movie with some lefty assistance. Evidently, the group MoveOn.org is going to distribute DVDs directly to his audience.

And in terms of funding, a significant part of the cost of the film was contributed by MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the group that Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff John Podesta is involved with.

Musical artist Eric Clapton gave Greenwald permission to use “Layla” free of charge. Singer-songwriter Don Henley contributed “Dirty Laundry.” The no-longer most trusted news anchor Walter Cronkite and the left-leaning media mavens Mark Crispin Miller and Eric Alterman provided commentary.
