Boston Legal to cover Outfoxed, but can't say Fox News or Bill O'Reilly.
http://www.newshounds.us/2005/03/04/outfoxed_center_of_attention_on_abcs_boston_legal.php#more

"Outfoxed" center of attention on ABC's "Boston Legal"
Robert Greenwald's "Outfoxed" is the subject of next Sunday's (3/13, 10PM ET) "Boston Legal" on ABC.

However, the folks at ABC are not allowing the words "Fox News" or the name "Bill O'Reilly" to appear in the episode, which centers around a school principal's use of the FOXBlocker on all the televisions in his school.

ABC has also declined to run this great commercial for Outfoxed ."

What a powerful commercial! What a shame to have a managed democracy like we do.

1. Contact info.

Phone number: (818) 460-7477

or send an email to the

and demand that they air this thought-provoking commercial.

More about this from Jim Gillian who co-produced Outfoxed.

2. Also on this page is Hannity's interview with Howard Dean....
when Dean stood up to him and told him to watch Outfoxed. Powerful speaking from our new chairman back at the convention this summer.

QT or Windows Media.
