We hosted a house party on Sunday night to view the new documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. These house parties were sponsored, as it were, by the brilliant grassroots activist group MoveOn.org; there were nearly 4,000 such house parties across the United States.
We got together and watched the movie at 7pm EST, and then afterwards took part in a coast-to-coast conference call with Al Franken and the documentary's director, Robert Greenwald.
Pretty cool, huh??
So when I signed up for our house party, I didn't think that anyone besides the friends I sent the invite to would pay any attention. And yet our party soon filled up, and went beyond. I actually had to turn two people away. We had about 10 people here, and only 3 of them were people we knew. It was a very positive experience, to be with like-minded people that we didn't know!
I highly recommend the documentary. It's available on the "Outfoxed" website for about $10.
