    From: Kate McArdle (Km716 at aol.com):

      I am a producer with Robert Greenwald prods. in Los Angeles. We
recently produced a documentary entitled UNCOVERED: the
      whole truth about the Iraq war.  The movie was sponsored by
moveon.org and The Center for American Progress in DC.

      Because that movie has been so successful in helping moveon raise
money for their voter fund they have agreed to finance
      our next project.

      This one is about media conglomeration and political influence of
the media.  Currently we are looking at FOX news corp. 
      We put out a request to moveon.org members to see if we could get
some eyes and ears who would monitor Fox for us and
      report on certain areas we find of interest.  One of those folks
suggested that your organization might be helpful in this
      area.

The project for the moment is just titled MEDIA CONGLOMERATION PROJECT.
The Production Company is Robert Greenwald Prods. I am one of the
Producers
and I can be reached at 310-204-2581 or email km716 at aol.com

I am trying to find out the following:

1. Does anyone in your group know anyone who has worked at Fox or still
works at Fox.

2. Would anyone have any stories about fox policy, who decides what
stories to pursue. what are some examples of stories that only Fox
covered or stories Fox refuses to cover that other outlets cover.
Any examples of how news stories on Fox reflect RNC statements etc

Also, it would be great if any in the group could alert us if they here or
see any of the examples above

      Best,
      Kate McArdle
      Co Producer
      Uncovered
