Outfoxed Reaches 200,000 DVD Sales; Tie-in Book Debuts
Robert Greenwald's "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism," along with Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," was the standout documentary of 2004.
Released on DVD by The Disinformation Company in July 2004, "Outfoxed" immediately became the #1 selling DVD on Amazon.com. The film passed a significant milestone by moving 100,000 units in less than three weeks after its release, beating out major studio contenders such as the "Star Wars Trilogy." Sales have now passed 200,000 units, considered a large number for a documentary on DVD, proving that the film continues to strike a chord with audiences worldwide.Since its release, "Outfoxed" has garnered much press coverage. Most recently, the media widely reported that ABC had censored any reference to Fox News Channel in a recent episode of "Boston Legal" ? an episode that featured clips from "Outfoxed" in a courtroom scene. It was also revealed that ABC refused to sell commercial airtime during the program to The Disinformation Company, which had tried to place an ad for "Outfoxed." Despite Fox News Channel's attempts at damage control, the focus on the network as a right-wing propaganda machine remains strong and criticism continues.
Recently, after off-air audiotape was obtained, media reports exposed Sean Hannity's alleged coaching of two of Terri Schiavo's former nurses during their appearance on "Hannity and Colmes" on March 31st. Additionally, the quality of Fox's news reports have again come into question after the network issued a premature report of the death of Pope John Paul II before being retracted with an apology from anchor Shepard Smith.Further fueling the fire is the new "Outfoxed" book, to be released by The Disinformation Company on April 21st. In the book, journalist Alexandra Kitty continues the investigation of Fox News Channel where Producer/Director Robert Greenwald's documentary film sensation left off, digging deeper into Rupert Murdoch's media empire and its dumbing down of the news.The book's release was kicked off with a Salon.com promotion in which "Outfoxed" was offered as a giveaway to potential Premium Salon subscribers. According to Max Garrone, VP of Operations for the Salon Media Group, "Salon has been very interested in 'Outfoxed' since the DVD came out because it was quite a sensation with our audience. Our audience loves 'Outfoxed' because they feel Fox has been distorting the news while brandishing a facetious tag line."According to The Disinformation Company's President Gary Baddeley, "'Outfoxed' is proving to be more than just a successful documentary ? it's changing the media landscape by making it known very loudly and very clearly that Fox News Channel is anything but an objective source of news.
We all owe Robert Greenwald and his partners on the film, MoveOn.org and Center for American Progress, a huge thank you."Robert Greenwald, whose new attack ad aimed at Governor Schwarzenegger aired at last weekend's state Democratic convention in Los Angeles, has acknowledged both the "Boston Legal" censorship as well as the vilification of "Outfoxed" by Fox News Channel as key components to the film reaching the 200,000 sales mark: "I am astounded at having passed 200,000 in sales on the DVD and I want to express my appreciation and thanks to Bill O'Reilly and all the folks at Fox News who have attacked us and made this milestone possible."

Television on Your Schedule with a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
The introduction of the VCR changed so much for the television viewer. Before the introduction of the VCR, you had to watch the show when it was broadcast by the network ? that was your only option. If you recorded your favorite show, you were able to watch it when you wanted to ? and as many times as you wanted to. All you needed was a blank video tape and a VCR. That has all changed with the DVR.A DVR, or Digital Video Recorder, is technology that takes all the great features of a VCR and places it in the digital age.
Instead of multiple tapes, you have a single hard drive. Instead of degrading tape quality issues, shows are now recorded digitally that can last forever. Instead of programming a VCR through a complicated interface of tiny buttons on a remote control, you can program your DVR through a simple point and click interface, possibly even from your home computer.In addition to the ability to watch your shows whenever you want to, there is another benefit to the DVR...

Don't Use Markers to Label CDs and DVDs
Many people use markers to write on the surface of their CDs and DVDs when labeling their media.
What most people do not know is that using markers, such as Sharpies, ballpoint pens, or any other sharp object can be very damaging to the media.
Most markers contain chemicals that create oxidation, which can deteriorate the CD or DVD.
The oxidation can ruin the aluminum, which covers the surface of the media and ultimately can destroy the data on the disc.
Additionally, these types of markers can damage the physical structure of the disc.There are a couple of ways to avoid these problems.
Special pens are now sold which are made specifically for writing on media.
One brand is called Staedtler Lumocolor CD/DVD Markers (pictured to the right).
Another tip to keep in mind is that off the shelf markers can be used on media that has been screen printed because the screen printing protects the data from chemical destruction..

Interested in Improving the Sound of Your Stereo? Consider Records
Introduced in 1982, the compact disc was intended to provide better sound than the 40-year-old long-play record album, popularly known as the LP. Using a laser rather than a diamond needle for playback the compact disc was smaller, more convenient to use, and less susceptible to damage than the LP. A bonus was that the format was said to offer "perfect sound forever." "Forever" isn't that long these days; improvements in digital sound have come along in the last twenty years and the music industry introduced two new formats this decade that are designed to improve upon the "perfect" sound of the compact disc. Those formats are the Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) and DVD Audio (DVD-A.) Over the years, various audio publications have criticized the sound of compact discs, describing the sound as "harsh", "brittle" or "sterile" compared to the sound of the LP. After years of research, SACD and DVD-A were introduced several years ago and introduced sound that was said to be cleaner and more...
