Faux... er... Fox Mad at The Times For Publishing Fox's Ethically Challenged Memos

All of this relates to film, "Outfoxed", what uses the Murdoch-bought media's own words and some of its former people in a rather shocking indictment of poor journalistic practices.

In a letter sent to E & P Monday night, The New York Times chose not to fire back at Fox News, which earlier in the day had accused the paper of "corrupt" journalistic practices and collaborating in copyright infringement. "We don't get into debates about our news coverage," Toby Usnik, director of public relations for The New York Times Company, wrote.

The charges emerged in Fox's official response to a Times Magazine story on Sunday about the new film, "Outfoxed," which is highly critical of Fox News channel. In that story, the Times printed brief excerpts from internal Fox memos.

"If someone tells us we made a factual error, we will examine the question closely," Usnik wrote, obviously suggesting this was not yet the case in this matter. "Otherwise our coverage speaks for itself."

However, I doubt anyone who makes the choice to watch Fox today and still considers it news programming probably isn't going to watch "Outfoxed" or change their opinion.
