Talk:Outfoxed

Bias claims
The sections on this article ("Criticism") etc. seem to take a biased point of view concerning the film. Especially the sections relating to the criticism of the editing.

The film specifically states that Fox News takes a "conservative" slant concerning the news by, in part, espousing the views of conservative politicians, and snubbing the response of "liberal" politicians.

The fact that the editing is allegedly unclear regarding "who said what" ignores the basic premise of the film. In any event, the criticism should not be left there without a counter point.

- Agree with the above points and also question the POV of film reviews section. Generally, Outfoxed was well-received (see imdb or rottentomatoes.com). Now, to label the praise as being from "liberal film reviewers" is misleading. Who defines "liberal", anyway? Besides, the only way that this point would be valid is if mainstream (NY Times, Wash Post) reviewers identified themselves as liberal in their reviews. Generally, I doubt this was the case.

Outfoxed refers to 2 sepate things. Keep the disambiguation node. --06:20, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

NPOV
I think that the article is fairly well balanced in terms of how much is given over to claims and criticisms, although both look like they have been cribbed wholesale from other sources. I think that some minor tweaking would mean there was no need for the NPOV template, but that some cleanup and copyediting is needed. --Liquidindian 11:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * To that end, I have rewritten the Criticism part, and removed the NPOV template. The original template was added because of subjectivity in saying that movie reviewers are 'liberal'.  I removed the movie review part, as it isn't very relevant, and IMDB is subject to constant change.--Liquidindian 01:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone readded the cut-and-paste section, so I've reverted it. I think that the "allegations" part possibly needs some editing to improve it, but simply slapping in the statement from FOX verbatim isn't helping. --Liquidindian 03:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I think sombody should post something about the publishing company and other information needed to cite the movie.
 * Added an info box, not sure if that's all the info, though.--Liquidindian 00:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Removed the following:

"Not all agree with Greenwald's assertion that Fox News Channel is biased, and there has been criticism that the film is ineffective. There have been negative comparisons of Outfoxed to Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11, with claims that Moore's film did a much better job at sourcing and interviewing. "

Sources? - BTAUS

As a general comment on the film rather than the article, I am amazed at how much footage of Fox News appears in it. I have no idea what the legal position is on such usage, but I imagine Fox would have prevented it if they could. Lee M 02:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

POV statement
Removed this line from after the Controversies/Criticisms section: "Despite these examples, the film shows overwhelming evidence that Fox News often reports such quotes freely and without rebuttal."

Blatant POV. Still, if someone wants to flesh out this section with responses to FOX and other critic's counter-arguements then go ahead. (Though not just your own opinion, obviously :). Edders 08:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Should the opening paragraphs be cleaned up?
Maybe others disagree, but I think that the introduction/summary to this article reads as if it were pulled straight from the film's own promotional material. It just reminds me of those articles that are copied, unchanged, from a person's own biography etc. Any suggestions for a more neutral re-wording? Edders 08:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Lol, out of curiosity I typed "Outfoxed summary" into google, and sure enough, up comes the Outfoxed homepage with a summary from the film that is identical to the opening paragraph. Edders 10:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

This NOT An Unbiased film
In the interest of keeping Wikipedia neutral, you cannot present this film as an unbiased film. Distributed by MoveOn.org!?! Go to IMDB and look at his works. He has an agenda - even if you agree with it. This is not a work of an unbiased person, and I think the criticism of Wikipedia’s bias comes from articles such as this. "Raising questions as to whether the movie itself was biased" is not an appropriate representation of the bias of this film. Before you damn me as a right-winger, I'm a moderate. Presenting this as "non-biased" is a disservice to the guys in the middle. This needs, at least, to be labeled as an attack on major media slanted toward the right but neglecting to site other news organizations slanted to the left. If Wikipedia does not wish to fall into being labeled left-biased media, then they need to keep articles like this under control. Two sentances about this film's bias? That's biased.

From Wikipedia... "Greenwald is often described as progressive and is closely aligned with Moveon.org." "The group (Moveon.org) aims to promote self-described "progressive" candidates and policy."

This needs to be represented fairly in the article with more than two sentances.

 * To label the film as "biased", you need to show not just that the filmmaker has an agenda, but that he reports the facts inaccurately to push that agenda. In other words, it's not an example of bias if it's true. 71.203.209.0 17:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Throughout the entire top point of this section all you did was express your own opinion (own bias if you will) however you showed no proof and just said it is basicly because of Moveon.org and Greenwald's career that this is biased and i quote "You cannot present this film as an unbiased film. Distributed by MoveOn.org!?!" MoveOn.org is yes a very left-wing website however that does not make it bias by saying that all you proved is that your bias against MoveOn.org bottem line is you have no facts to prove that THIS film is bias.--Riraito 08:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup tag
I added the cleanup tag since the first portion of the article is admittedly pulled from the sleeve of the documentary. I will seek to find secondary sources discussing the film, and would appreciate any help making this article more encyclopedic, e.g. removing the block quotes. We should also provide plot summary and spoiler warning to the article as well. Unfortunately, I have not seen the video, but if any editor has, and would like to add a synopsis, that would be appreciated. Ramsquire 23:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Propaganda films
Why is everyone riding me about this?

I don't have an agenda, as all the right leaning films I've put in the propaganda cat will show. I merely want a full listing of the relevant topics, or else the category would consist of little more than WWII newsreels and 50s exploitation films. Why is it so controversial that latter day American propaganda films. which touch on contrmpory debates, be excluded? It isn't POV, either. The FTA tour, Outfoxed, F9/11 all were films which had a clear policitcal and/or social agenda, why is it so difficult to admit that they are propaganda? (No one has ever raised objection to Stolen Honor, FahrenHYPE 9/11, or Michael Moore Hates America, btw).

That isn't my only reason for putting them in that cat, they all use selective editing and presentation of the facts, fail to show the other side, and try to be "entertaining" enough to lure in an audience. What other qualifications for propaganda could I possibly give?--Dudeman5685 20:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hello, Dudeman. Thank you for taking the time to lay out your thoughts on this issue. The problem as I see it is very simple: you have a very broad notion of what constitutes "propaganda", whereas many people feel that "propaganda" is a highly loaded term that should, indeed, only be used very sparingly. Clearly there is no true concensus on what is and what isn't propaganda -- and there never will be. That in itself should be a major red flag.

 * As you may recall, 2 months ago there were debates/discussions at Categories_for_deletion which resulted in the deletion of 3 sub-categories of propaganda films. By strong majorities, those who weighed in with comments were concerned that using the "propaganda" label for all of those films was highly NPOV, and therefore not appropriate. Those discussions are worth taking a few minutes to read, so here's the links to those pages:

 * Vietnam War films

 * Two discussions: Left-wing & right wing films

 * I made a point of including the "right-wing" films category, because, as you say, this isn't about a particular agenda, but rather about a consistent principle:

 * That pinning the "propaganda" label on a film merely because it has a strong POV is fundamentally wrong for Wikipedia, because for the vast majority of readers the term "propaganda" is highly pejorative.

 * That being the case, all of those films are, in a sense, damaged when they're tarred with that label. On the other hand, the only "damage" from NOT labeling a whole bunch of films as "propaganda" is that those Categories & Sub-categories will be sparsely populated.

 * In short, the desire to have "full listings" simply is not a good enough reason to slap an inherently disparaging label on dozens of films. Regardless of your personal views (which you are certainly entitled to), such labels simply have no place in Wikipedia.

 * I hope I've helped you understand why sticking lots of films in those categories is always gonna bother people. Cgingold 11:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Biased film. Biased article?
The film the article is about is obviously biased and targets Fox and Murdoch. One cannot insist the world take a NPOV. Unfortunately, the article seems to be promoting the film, rather than simply reporting on its existance. Maybe a lighter touch is needed?

James52 02:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

As I pointed out earlier, the article is basically a copy-and-paste job of the film's own promotional material. Someone also added quoation marks around a part of the Intro to indicate what was taken from that material. In fact, it is the ENTIRE introduction, excluding the DVD bit, that is taken from the promo. Also, I've beefed up the criticism bit with Fox's own response. When I get the time I'll add the info from the Washington Post's article on the film (which contacted a number of those involved. It's linked from the Fox press release link) as a seperate part of the Criticism. Edders 16:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I took out the content that was directly lifted from the promo material; it was repetitive, unnecessary, and made the article read too much like an advertisement. I also cleaned up the text where it was heavily weighted toward promoting the film as well. Alcarillo 23:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Irony in Outfoxed
(Sorry I forgot to sign in when writing this section of the article.)

A problem with a lot of what's written about Outfoxed is that bias is at its most visible to those with the opposite bias --- the choir sees no bias in the preacher! One approach to avoiding bias is to avoid anything that might construed as nuanced, controversial, or open to interpretation. Hopefully my point in this section of the article, namely that the evidence put forward in the film supports only the Fox-as-Mafia hypothesis and not the Murdoch-as-Godfather hypothesis, is beyond controversy: if it is then the section should pass the NPOV test, if not then it should be deleted. Vaughan Pratt 09:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that text you included was more like a film review, which is your own opinion. That's probably why it was removed. Alcarillo 17:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

"War" vs. "Invasion"
I changed "2003 war in Iraq" to "2003 invasion of Iraq." The reason is that the line refers to the "aftermath" of the event. The invasion took place in 2003; the war is still going on and therefore has no "aftermath". In addition, the Wikipedia article linked uses the word "invasion". Mordant Kitten 23:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

It's a PAC.
Moveon.org is a PAC and it's liberal, see the links. Please don't weasel word it. If you have a different opinion please log in, or create an account and log in, and discuss it here. Hiding behind an anonymous edit is not the way to do it. --James52 03:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh please. This is an encyclopedia; vague terms like 'liberal' and 'conservative' should be completely avoided, as they are extremely ambiguous and lack a globally accepted definition. These words used in the context of this article could easily fall into the category of partisan/bias, hence the (neutral) Moveon.org article itself doesn't use these terms. Opertinicy 05:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The terms are not particularly vague. There are even articles about them. Whatever. It's still a PAC. This is from the moveon article: "MoveOn.org Political Action, a federal political action committee, formerly known as MoveOn PAC, gives contributions to candidates across the country to advance causes in Congress and help elect selected political candidates." --James52 05:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)--

Major editing
I just went through and cleaned up all the biased material on this article, as well as what I saw unnecesary information such as trivial things as taking a one page ad out in the NYT? On other movies you don't elaborate on what networks a certain movie advertised on so don't do it here either. It's more trivia. If you have problems with any of my edits please state so here. RYNORT (talk) 01:00, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I have lots of problems with your edits. Your shortening substituted generalities for specifics, which is not a good idea.  You also show little familiarity with WP:MOS, putting the lead section title in double quotes instead of bold italics, losing wikilinks, and so on.  The problems with this article can be fixed without such drastic changes.  Wasted Time R (talk) 02:42, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Also, the ad in the NYT is worth mentioning because of Greenwald's unusual distribution method; for a conventionally distributed film, you are right, it wouldn't be worth a mention. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * So would it or would it not be worth a mentionRYNORT 17:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The whole first paragraph is lifted text... why do you think I shortened it?RYNORT 16:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * and if you could name one example of how buying an ad in a newspaper to promote a film is unusual. That'd be great! ( you obviously don't read newspapers)RYNORT 18:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The Greenwald distribution method is to release on DVD not theatrically, and then have politically allied groups (such as MoveOn) do advertising for the DVD. That's an unusual mechanism, and in that context the NYT ad is significant to note.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * leaving this article the way it is is horrible... i don't see what was wrong the way I had it... i'm about to change it back. It stated everything about the film that everyone would want to read. I think it's just you want to listen to your words in your head that you wrote (which most people agree that it sounds the best way, but it's not). Also sounds a tad sensational, a big no no on wikipedia. RYNORT 21:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't write the original article, so I'm not trying to protect my own words. While the film may be making sensational claims, the article itself is not sensational; you seem to be having trouble understanding the difference between the two.  And I've been an editor in Wikipedia a lot longer than you have, so you don't need to explain no no's to me.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Not sensational?!?!?! "The film examines the global growth of Murdoch's media enterprise" —Preceding unsigned comment added by RYNORT (talk • contribs) 22:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * That's not sensational at all. Murdoch is a smart and successful businessman and his media holdings have indeed been growing.  Concentration of media ownership is a legitimate issue that many people have commented on, not just this film.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Tags removed
I've removed the cleanup tag — it's been there a while and whatever it was referring to, I think has since been improved. I've also removed the pov tag — I think the article as it stands now is okay. It is not the job of this article to decide whether Fox News is a good thing or a bad thing or whether Outfoxed is "right"; the article just needs to describe the claims made by the film, describe Fox News' response, and describe the critical and popular reaction to the film. That it does. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:26, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

 * your wrong on that.... it sounds to sensational

 * You wrote on my talk page that "WP:MOS is a joke" and that "writing in that type of format leaves room for sensationalism which contributes to an overall biased in the article. What I did do in the Outfoxed article was just list what went on and not my own words in it."  First, WP:MOS is a style guideline that we all abide by; if you don't like it, find another encyclopedia to write for.  Second, you still aren't distinguishing between what the film states about Fox News ("it's bad") and what the article states about Fox News (nothing, the article is just describing the film).  Third, your grammar and English usage is horrible.  Wasted Time R (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

other side of the review
You can't just put how good it was. We need someone with a counter position on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RYNORT (talk • contribs) 17:22, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah? I wish this is true in all the conservative articles too. Speaker1978 (talk) 20:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Just for 2 more cents. Didn't see where any "Omniscient Wiki Voice" stated "How Good It Was". It seems like a pretty straight recitation of what the film is, (Not whether it is 'Right-or-wrong') followed by critical reception of it's content, (Both Pro & Con)(Including Fox News' Denials of its assertions)...some minor sprinkles of rebuttals to the critiques. Even links to one of Murdochs "Major Organs"; (to wit- his spleen, The New York Post). I've seen the Film, this seems like this article covers all necessary bases, without going on too long. Also like the coverage of the "outside-the-norm-distribution-approach"  --mbd--71.6.81.62 (talk) 06:26, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Fox Attacks section
I removed the "Fox Attacks" section because it has a very limited relationship (if at all) to the film and it's mostly sourced to blogs and other self-published sources. It might be appropriate in the Greenwald article, but I'm making no determination on that. Just sharing here. Thargor Orlando (talk) 15:17, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Shouting 'Shut up! Shut up!' and Cutting off Son of 9-11 victim
How German wikipedia page describes this part of Outfoxed, translated by google: "Particularly negative while the moderators are Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity pointed out, the rude insult interview guests and just cut the word when they disagree with their opinion. As a particularly significant example an interview with Jeremy Glick O'Reilly is summarized. Glick's father Barry was with the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 were killed, and Glick had publicly opposed George W. Bush's war policy issued. It is not, this is the same, come the misfortune of flight UA93 killed Jeremy Glick . During the interview mentioned Glick that the US Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had supported in the past. O'Reilly shouted Glick then he should 'keep the muzzle', insulted him and let him not to speak. In a later interview Glick stated that they had chased him out of the studio. [1] O'Reilly said that later falsely, Glick had claimed in the show, Bush was behind the attacks of September 11th."

This is consistent with which notes that "During the interview, it was O'Reilly who called Glick's views "a bunch of crap"; O'Reilly who repeatedly told Glick to "shut up" before later telling staff to "cut his mic" staff which told Glick afterwards that he might want to leave the building because they worried O'Reilly would end up "in jail" if O'Reilly ran into Glick in the hallway. Glick is son of 9-11 victims but who dared to oppose Bush's invasion of Iraq. See also  which notes O'Reilly shouted "Shut up! Shup up!" twice in a row in response to Glick pointing out that that past U.S. foreign policy bore some responsibility for “training militarily, economically, and situating geopolitically” the Taliban. None of this is given in the present version which distills all of this down to O'Reilly only "allegedly" having "attempted to intimidate guests with whom" he disagrees.

I would encourage editors to add detail. To be reasonable it doesn't have to be as detailed as the German version on the treatment of Glick. Not saying the German version if perfect. But it's better - and more accurate, than the current version. Harel (talk) 03:28, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Emma Hardinge Britten

Emma Hardinge Britten (2 May 1823 – 2 October 1899) was an English advocate for the early Modern Spiritualist Movement. Much of her life and work was recorded and published in her speeches and writing and an incomplete autobiography edited by her sister. She is remembered as a writer, orator, trance clairvoyant, and spirit medium. Her books, Modern American Spiritualism (1870) and Nineteenth Century Miracles (1884), are detailed accounts of spiritualism in America.

Early years
Emma Floyd was born in London, England in 1823. Her father Ebenezer, who was a schoolteacher, died in 1834 when Emma was eleven years old. She grew up supporting herself and her family as a musician, trained as an opera singer and began a stage career.

Career
She developed a reputation for apparent abilities as a spiritual medium during her early years. As a child, Emma had a habit of predicting the futures of people she encountered, relating to them what she had seen in visions, along with information about their deceased relatives of whom she had no prior knowledge. She also developed the amusing talent of preemptively playing songs on the piano, which her audience was thinking (to themselves!) of requesting.

According to her autobiography, Emma's clairvoyant tendencies drew her into participation with a secret London occult society which used magnetics and clairvoyant techniques for experimental purposes. During this period, she was also exposed to sexism and economic discrimination through her involvement with a manipulative member of the society whom she later termed "a baffled sensualist." Although there is little reliable information on this London occult group, it is suspected that Emma received the name Hardinge from this society, the surname she kept throughout her adult life.

She came to America and while in New York City, she attended Spiritualist séances in the hopes of writing about the gullibility of Americans. During these séances, she begin to experience events from her dramatic childhood. Under the guidance of medium Ada Hoyt, these mystical experiences at séances led her to becoming a part of the Spiritualist movement. Emma was invited by the famous Spiritualist, Horace Day, to host spiritualist séances in the Society for the Diffusion of Spiritual Knowledge. She deepened her involvement in the Spiritualist movement as a "trance lecturer" and delivered speeches across the country. Lecture topics included "The Discovering of Spirits," “The Philosophy of the Spirit Circle," “Hades," and "What Is the Basis of the Connection of the Natural and Spiritual Worlds?”

Hardinge also became involved in the campaign efforts of 1864 in support of Abraham Lincoln's re-election. After delivering a highly successful lecture titled, "The Coming Man; or the Next President of the United States," Emma was invited to continue her political work on a thirty-two lecture tour.

Perhaps the culmination of her oratorical career was a speech delivered on 14 April 1865, as a response to President Lincoln's assassination only thirty-six hours prior. Her speech was widely acclaimed by the journalists of the age as her greatest achievement. Still, not all of her spiritual lectures were so well received. In 1866, The Saturday Review wrote a satirical critique of Hardinge's speeches, describing her style as "bloated eloquence" and her content as "bunkum.”

As a chronicle of her active religious participation, Hardinge published the book Modern American Spiritualism (1870), a huge "encyclopedia" of the people and events associated with the early days of the movement. That same year, Emma married an ardent spiritualist, William Britten, from Boston. Emma continued to publish under the surname Hardinge, however, since her professional career was well-developed before this late-life marriage.

In 1872, Emma attempted to start a magazine, The Western Star, however, after a series of devastating fires in Boston, her impoverished clients dropped their subscriptions. The magazine failed after only six issues. Emma then moved back to New York, where she became involved in theosophy. She was also one of six founding members of the Theosophical Society with Helena Blavatsky until they had a falling-out.

She also edited a book called Art Magic or Mundane, Sub-Mundane and Super-Mundane Spiritism: A Treatise in Three parts and Twenty Three Sections on the subject of Theosophy. It was written anonymously and published in 1876 by 'the author' with the help of 'his [sic] highly esteemed English friend, Mrs. Emma Hardinge Britten'. There remains a strange mystery regarding its authorship. In addition, in 1887 she founded The Two Worlds, a weekly Spiritualist newspaper.

From 1878 to 1879, Emma and her husband worked as Spiritualist missionaries in Australia and New Zealand. Isaac Selby, who heard her speak in Melbourne, said, “she impressed me as the greatest woman orator that ever visited Australia.” After returning to New York, she wrote her greatest chronicle of the spiritualist age—Nineteenth Century Miracles (1884). Emma Hardinge died in Manchester, England in 1899. She is credited with defining the seven principles of Spiritualism which, with minor changes, are still in use today by the National Spiritualist Association of Churches in the United States and the Spiritualists' National Union in the United Kingdom.

Frontline States

The Frontline States (FLS) were a loose coalition of African countries from the 1960s to the early 1990s committed to ending apartheid in South Africa and South West Africa (today Namibia), and white minority rule in Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) to 1980. The FLS included Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique (from 1975), Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe (from 1980). The FLS disbanded after Nelson Mandela became President of South Africa in 1994.

In April 1975, the Frontline States – then consisting of Botswana, Lesotho, Tanzania and Zambia – were formally recognised as an entity as a committee of the Assembly of the Heads of State of the Organisation of African Unity. They were joined by Angola (1975), Mozambique (1975) and Zimbabwe (1980) when those countries gained their independence. Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere was the chairman until he retired in 1985. His successor was Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda. The countries' governments met regularly to coordinate security and economic policies.

Their mission was complicated by the fact that the economies of nearly all the FLS countries were dependent on South Africa, and many of their citizens worked there. Nevertheless, the FLS supported and sheltered exiled political movements opposed to apartheid and white minority rule, not only from South Africa, but also from Namibia (and Rhodesia prior to 1980). These states provided asylum for exiled South African political activists and allowed the African National Congress (ANC) and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) to set up headquarters within their borders. The ANC was declared as the official representative of the South African People by the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity whilst its headquarters was officially in Lusaka. Thousands of South African youth traveled to these states to receive training in sabotage and guerrilla warfare.

American relations with the Frontline States reached their peak during the human rights push of the Carter administration. Under the Reagan administration's Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Chester Crocker, the Frontline States were engaged diplomatically to reach landmark peace accords between South Africa, Mozambique, Angola (Lusaka Protocol), and Namibia (New York Accords).

Other uses
The term "frontline states" is also used for countries bordering any area of crisis in the world.

Plays Live

Plays Live is the first live and fifth album overall by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was originally issued as a double album and long-play cassette in 1983, with sixteen songs. It was re-released in 1985, as a single CD called Plays Live (Highlights) with only twelve songs, some of which are edited so the album fits on a single disc. It was rereleased in its entirety as a double CD set in 1987. In 2002, a remaster of the Highlights version was issued. In 2019, the complete double-LP version was released on streaming platforms for the first time.

In 2021 the original 2CD version was released in remastered form. The sound recordings copyright (p) date featured on the back of the package suggests this had actually been remastered at the same time as the rest of Gabriel's back catalogue in 2002.

Armando Gallo took the cover photograph. "I was always listening to the music when I photographed a concert," he said. "Somehow my index finger pressed the clicker in time with the lights and the percussion - the heart of the music. I always felt grateful that I could shoot Peter’s entire shows. Once I asked Peter if he didn’t mind me being in the pit photographing his every move. 'No, I love to see a friendly face,' he answered. Making me feel good about it."

Recordings
The songs for "Plays Live" were recorded at the following venues:

 * Braden Auditorium, Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois, 3 December 1982
 * Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, 4 December 1982
 * Chick Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois, 6 December 1982
 * SIU Arena, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, 7 December 1982

Liner notes by "the producers" admit, "Although this album was compiled from four concerts in the mid-West of the United States, some additional recording took place not a thousand miles away from the home of the artist. The generic term for this process is 'cheating'. Care has been taken to keep the essence of the gigs intact, including 'human imperfection'."

Singles and Promotion
"I Don't Remember" was issued as a single, with an accompanying music video, in the UK only.

In the US and Canada, "Solsbury Hill" was released as a single from Plays Live with "I Go Swimming" on the B-side. This previously unreleased song received airplay and made the US Mainstream Rock charts in 1983. It was initially recorded for Gabriel's third album and was performed on his 1980 tour.

In several European countries, "I Go Swimming" was the A-side. A live version of "Kiss of Life" from the 1982 tour appeared as the B-side of "Solsbury Hill" in The Netherlands. It was never included in any version of Plays Live although it was included in Gabriel's 2019 compilation Flotsam and Jetsam.

Talk:Bull Durham

Extras
I'd like to see an entry for real minor leaguers that were extras in the film. WillC 23:50, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Cultural Impact
The assumptions in this section are absurd without documentation. "Best Sports movie ever"? Maybe a candidate when it first came out and again when it hit cable TV, but it has been eclipsed by many others since then. Resurrected interest in minor league baseball? Says who? A much-greater argument can be made for oddball promotions than for BD. I quote BD all the time but I rarely hear it quoted by others--whereas I hear Office Space, Animal House and Jerry Maguire frequently. This section has the look of a fan's homage to his/her favorite--and therefore is very POV. Also, just info, but AAA is not one step away from the show. Follow baseball for any length of time and you will see that almost all callups now come from double-A ball.--Buckboard 06:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC) Who is to say either the Durham Bulls or the Birmingham Barons are the most popular teams in minor league baseball? I imagine they may be the best-known but the numbers in attendance and merchandise would say otherwise in terms of popularity.
 * "Best Sports Movie ever" is rather overhyped. But since you brought it up, name three that are better. Wahkeenah 12:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Quotations
I'm pretty sure that all of the quotes cited in the article are already listed in the Wikiquote link located at the bottom of the article but if some are missing, here is the section cut from the article. --J.D. 20:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Quotes

 * "This . . . is a simple game. You throw the ball.  You hit the ball.  You catch the ball." –Joe Riggins

 * "Bad trades are part of baseball; I mean who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake?" –Annie

 * Crash (upon finding out why he was traded to the Bulls):
 * "So my AAA contract gets bought out so I can hold some flavor of the month's dick in the bush leagues! Is that it?!? Well, fuck this fucking game! I fuckin' quit, mmm?  I quit."
 * (leaves the clubhouse office, slams the door. Pauses, shakes his head in disgust, and re-opens the office door)
 * "Who we playing tomorrow?"

 * "Why's he always calling me Meat? I'm the one drivin' a Porsche." –Nuke LaLoosh

 * Nuke brags about his signing bonus and the high-end stereo in the new car he bought with the money.
 * Crash: "Jesus Christ, you don't need a quadrophonic Blaupunkt! What you need is a curveball! Huh? In The Show, everybody can hit a fastball!"
 * Nuke: "Well how would you know? You been in the Majors?"
 * Crash: "Yeah, I've been in the Majors . . . I was in the majors for 21 days once - the 21 greatest days of my life. You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags? It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.!"

 * Nuke:"How come you don't like me?"
 * Crash:"Because, you don't respect yourself, and that's your problem. But you don't respect the game, and that's my problem."

 * "Don't think: you can only hurt the ball club."  –Crash Davis

 * "Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. You win twenty in the show, you can let the fungus grow back on your shower shoes and the press'll think you "colorful". Until you win twenty in the show, however, means you're slob." –Crash Davis

 * "Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, open your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight." –Crash Davis

 * Batboy hands pine tar rag to Crash Davis, who is thinking about Annie and having trouble concentrating...
 * Batboy: "Get a hit, Crash!"
 * Crash: "Shut up!"

 * "Relax, alright? Don't try to strike everybody out! Strikeouts are boring, and besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls, it's more democratic." –Crash Davis

 * (During a player's conference on the mound): "...candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two!" –Larry

 * Crash argues a close play at the plate, and is ejected from the game.
 * Radio announcer: "Crash Davis has been ejected, and frankly, folks, he used a certain word that is a no-no to umpires!"
 * Millie (listening to radio with Annie): "Crash must've called the guy a cocksucker."
 * Annie (sighing): "Mmmmm, he's so romantic!"

 * Crash Davis, frustrated with Annie:
 * Crash: "Who are you, anyway? Do you have a job?"
 * Annie: "I teach English part-time at Alamance Junior College!"
 * (The owner of the real-life Bulls also owned the Burlington team, of Alamance County).

 * "This is a simple game. You throw the ball; you hit the ball; you catch the ball" -- Nuke LaLoosh, to reporter in "The Show".

 * "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes... it rains. [pause] Think about that." –Nuke LaLoosh

 * "Walt Whitman once said, "I see great things in baseball. It's our game, the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us." You could look it up." –Annie, last line of the film. Oddly, Whitman never exactly said this: the quote combined two separate statements the writer mentioned regarding baseball.

 * After Nuke declines to take the first swing at Crash, Crash tauntingly tosses Nuke a baseball.
 * Crash: "Alright then, hit me in the chest with that."
 * Nuke: "I'd kill you."
 * Crash: "Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a fucking boat.  Come on.  Right in the chest.
 * Nuke: "No way.
 * Crash: "C'mon, Meat. You're not gonna hit me, because you're starting to think about it already. Huh? Thinkin' about how embarrassing it would be to miss in front of all these people, how somebody might laugh. C'mon, rook. Show us that million dollar arm. Cause I gotta . . . oh I gotta good idea about that five cent head of yours."

Nuke throws the ball at Crash, and misses badly.
 * Crash: "Ball four."
 * Nuke then charges at Crash, who drops him with one solid punch to the face. Crash bends over to help Nuke up off the ground.
 * Crash: "I'm Crash Davis, I'm your new catcher, and you just got lesson number one: don't think. It can only hurt the ball club."

 * Nuke has just shaken off Crash's pitch sign. Frustrated, Crash tells the batter what pitch Nuke is going to throw. The batter then hits a home run.
 * Crash (running out to the pitcher's mound): "Well, he really hit the shit outta that one, didn't he?"
 * Nuke: "I held it (the ball) like an egg..."
 * Crash: "Yeah, and he scrambled the sonofabitch. Look at that, he hit the fuckin' bull! Guy gets a free steak!"

 * Nuke: "God, that sucker teed off on that like he knew I was going to throw a fastball!"
 * Crash: ''"He did know."
 * Nuke: "How?"
 * Crash:"I told him."

 * "Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well"–Crash Davis, to the hitter after Nuke once again starts shaking off the signs.

 * "Man that ball got outta here in a hurry. I mean anything travels that far oughta have a damn stewardess on it, don't you think?"–Crash Davis

 * "Isn't this just the damnedest season that could be? The Durham Bulls can't lose, and I can't get laid!" –Annie, after being turned down by both Nuke and Crash.

 * Crash calls for a curve ball, but Nuke shakes off the pitch twice.
 * Crash: "Hey! HEY! Why are you shaking me off?"
 * Nuke (getting in Crash's face): "I want to bring the heat and announce my presence with authority!"
 * Crash: "Announce your fucking presence with authority? This guy is a first ball, fast ball hitter! He's looking for heat!"
 * Nuke: "Well he hasn't seen my heat!"
 * Crash: "All right, Meat, show him your heat."
 * Crash walks back towards the box.
 * Crash (to the batter): "Fast ball comin'."

Unsourced Trivia
I'm moving this section here until this stuff can be integrated (if possible) in other sections. -J.D. 23:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Trivia

 * During his famous rant, Crash Davis comments that he believes ". . . Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone . . ." in the JFK assassination. In 1991, Kevin Costner appeared in JFK as a District Attorney determined to indirectly prove Oswald was part of a larger conspiracy.
 * Crash yells at Nuke about messing up the lyrics to "Try a Little Tenderness". In the movie "The Upside of Anger", Kevin Costner plays a former baseball player.  At a wedding the singer starts singing "Try a Little Tenderness", after singing the first verse, the singer looks like he forgets the words and starts humming.
 * In the scene in which the bat boy gives Crash the pine tar rag and tells him to "get a hit", Kevin Costner ad-libbed the line "Shut up." The actor playing the bat boy wasn't expecting the line, thought Costner was being serious, and burst into tears.
 * The note that Crash writes to Annie actually reads "Let's fuck sometime," not "I want to make love to you", as Millie reads. It can be seen over Crash's right shoulder when he writes the note in the dugout.
 * The movie states that Crash Davis has 227 minor league home runs and needs twenty more to break the all-time minor league home run record. After hitting home run number 247 (but not with the Durham Bulls), Davis leaves baseball. However, the actual minor league home run record is 484, held by Héctor Espino, who played for 24 years in the Mexican League between 1960 and 1984. Espino played in the American minor league system briefly in 1964, but was offended by racial discrimination and returned to Mexico to finish his career there.  (He hit no major league home runs.)  Even discounting Mexican League players, Davis's 247 minor league home runs wouldn't put him in the current top ten list of all-time minor league home runs.
 * Although the Durham Bulls were a farm team of the Atlanta Braves when the movie was filmed, Nuke's "major league" interview takes place in Arlington Stadium, the former home of the Texas Rangers.
 * In a famous sex scene, Costner lifts up sarrandon's dress and unsnaped her stockings that Robbins failed to do earlier, a second later Costner unbuttoned the back of her dress and viewers saw that Sarrandon was wearing black Jockey Panties.

IMDB info
As per the comments in the Peer Review, I've removed the Production info that was lifted out of the IMDB and placed it here until it can be properly sourced as info in the IMDB is notoriously unreliable.--J.D. (talk) 17:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

According to the Internet Movie Database, filming was done after the close of the regular season, during September and October of 1987. The length of the shadows during the day games subtly give away the time of year. Durham Athletic Park was, of course, used for most of the baseball action. There were also scenes filmed in other Carolina League cities, although one establishing shot of War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro, North Carolina was erroneous, because Greensboro's club was and is in the South Atlantic League. Also, Nuke's Major League interview at the end was shot in Arlington Stadium, the former home of the Texas Rangers.

The Durham Bull sign, once a staple at ballparks everywhere, was built specifically for the movie. Once filming was done, the bull was retained as a decoration, albeit in foul territory, and with a simple "Let's Go Bulls" instead of "Hit Sign Win Steak". Like the Hollywood Sign, this Durham Bull was not originally intended to be a long-lasting artifact, and was eventually replaced by a sturdier version. The new Durham Bulls Athletic Park also features the Durham Bull.

Aside from the sliding routine, the "rainout" scene was based on an actual event. In the late 1960s, Shelton played minor-league ball in the Texas League. Shelton's team was in Amarillo, Texas for a season-ending series. The night before the final game, Shelton, some teammates and some Amarillo players were out partying and decided to go to the stadium and turn on the sprinkler system, thereby flooding the field and ensuring a "rainout." However, the Amarillo team owner rented a helicopter, dried the field, and the game was played.

Redundant passages
The intro section and Production section have some identical passages (as of July 2009). The intro. section passages should be paraphrased or deleted in favor of the detailed info. in the body section(s). Memetics (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the intro section needs to be re-written as it is supposed to summarize the various sections in the article.--J.D. (talk) 17:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Cut paragraph about cut whorehouse scene
I just cut this paragraph from the Production section, that discusses a cut scene. It needs work, and I'm not sure it's notable enough; I don't have time to work on it myself, for the moment, anyway. It took Costner's words about 'black hookers' in the 'black whorehouse', and used them outside of any quote marks. It doesn't work for Wikipedia itself to use that vernacular. It could work as a quote. As I say, I'm not sure it's notable enough, but if editors feel it is, and want to rework it, it follows. Ale And Quail (talk) 02:23, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

The scene in the pool hall where Nuke tells Crash that he is going to "the Show" was originally shot in a black whorehouse with Costner's character playing "Unchained Melody" on the piano to a 60-year-old hooker while drunk. Nuke came in and the two men fought in an alley with several black hookers cheering Crash on. Costner remembers, "The pool hall was somehow thought to be a better experience for the audience, because we didn't want to see him with a black woman, I guess. But it was perfectly in line with who he was".

Oscar Kreuzer

Oscar Kreuzer (14 June 1887 – 3 May 1968) was a male tennis and rugby player from Germany.

Biography
Kreuzer was born at Frankfurt am Main on 14 June 1887.

He played at the 1908 Summer Olympics and at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden where he won a bronze medal in the men's singles tournament. In 1912, he also reached the final at the World Hard Court Championships at Paris which he lost to his compatriot Otto Froitzheim. At Wimbledon, he reached his best result in 1913 where he advanced to the semifinals before being stopped by Stanley Doust.

Besides tennis, Kreuzer also excelled at rugby. He won the German championships with his club SC 1880 Frankfurt in 1910, and played several caps for Germany.

At the end of July 1914, he and Otto Froitzheim played the semifinal of the International Lawn Tennis Challenge at Pittsburgh against Australasia. When World War I broke out, the president of the local tennis club kept this from Froitzheim and Kreuzer as he didn't want to disrupt the match. The German team lost 0–5. On their way back to Germany, their Italian steamboat America was halted off Gibraltar by a British warship and they were placed in a prison in Gibraltar for several months before being sent to detention camps in England. While Kreuzer stayed at a camp near Leeds, officer Froitzheim was kept at Donnington Hall until the end of the war in 1918.

In 1920 he won the International German Championships at the Rothenbaum club in Hamburg, defeating Louis Maria Heyden in the final in three straight sets.

After he retired from playing tennis tournaments, Kreuzer settled at Wiesbaden, near his friend Froitzheim. He died there on 3 May 1968.

WQNO

WQNO is a station based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The station is owned by Catholic Community Radio, Inc. and broadcasts at 690 kHz with a power level of 9,100 watts daytime and 2,100 watts nighttime. The station mostly runs Roman Catholic programming from EWTN radio.

The facilities of the station, previously called WTIX, were severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005. The station had the target date to resume broadcasting on December 1, and in November requested the new letters WIST. Other stations have used the WTIX letters in the years since 2005.

On November 6, 2014 WQNO was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to decrease day power to 9,100 watts and decrease night power to 2,100 watts. The permit expired on November 6, 2017.

History
WTIX, which was originally at 1450 until 1958, was a very successful Top 40 powerhouse throughout the 1960s and 1970s owned by Todd Storz's Mid-Continent Broadcasting Company and later under Robert Storz's Storz Broadcasting after Todd Storz's death in 1964. The 690 facility had signed on in 1948 as WWEZ, owned by the Sky Broadcasting Service. When Storz bought 690, WTIX moved from the 1450 facility. Station power increased to 10,000 watts daytime, 5000 night with a directional pattern. In 1954 WTIX was the first radio station to air a Top 40 radio show. The program director who developed the format was William L. "Bud" Armstrong who later served as a U. S. Senator from Colorado. Generations of New Orleanians were familiar with their signature call jingle "WTIX, We Love You," and the station was referred to as, "Fun-Lovin' WTIX, The Mighty 690!" Famed disc jockeys on The Mighty 690 during its heyday included The Real Robert Mitchell, Russell Glen "Buzz" Bennett, Ted Green, Don Anthony, Skip Broussard, Bobby Reno, "Oldie King" Bob Walker, Marc Sommers, "Skinny" Tom Cheney, Nick "Bazoo" Ferrara, Michael Green, Chuck Kirr, "Hot" Rod Glenn, Marty "With the Party" Maxwell, Terry Young, "Pal" Al Nassar, Blair "On the Air" Kullman, Kim Stephens and Captain Humble (Hugh Dillard). The news staff included Jeff Stierman, J. Andrew Michaels, Todd Bauer, Kathy Fischman, Larry Hamilton, Katie Caraway, Ed Clancy (Radio Cartoons) and Joe Culotta, hosting "Let's Talk It Over" on Sunday mornings from 1965-1986. (Rod Glenn, Bobby Reno and Bob Walker would later DJ for WTIX-FM.)

In the 1970s, WTIX was a current based Top 40 format focusing on new music and going back only a couple years. By 1980, WTIX began to mix in more 1970s hits and some popular 1960s hits. They evolved into an adult leaning top 40 format at that point, which would be considered Hot AC today. In 1983, WTIX was purchased by Price Communications which lead to many of the mainstay staff to exit. It evolved into more of an adult contemporary format and was gold based by 1985. In the course of 1987, WTIX gradually dropped current product and 1980s music. Then attempted to switch to an all oldies format playing music mostly from 1964 to 1969 with a moderate amount of pre-1964 oldies and 1970s hits. WTIX's ratings were declining due to FM radio fast becoming the norm). In 1988, WTIX shifted to a hybrid Talk/Oldies format playing music during the day and weekends with talk at night. This would last until April 1988, when they began to slowly phase out the Oldies format in favor of All-Talk. The exception to the talk format was 4 hours each Sunday, which owner George Buck reserves for two of his passions, playing 2 hours of dixieland jazz and swing music, followed by two hours rebroadcasting transcriptions of old time radio shows, which Buck himself announced from a studio in his French Quarter home via a line to the station's main studio.

Previous notable WTIX talk radio hosts included Michael & Bob Delgiorno (WWL-AM) Ron Hunter, Robert Namer, and long time radio personality Keith Rush. WTIX was also the first New Orleans home to Rush Limbaugh. At one time, in the 1980s, there was a weekly call-in talk show hosted by former professional wrestler Buck "Yellow Belly" Robley. The topics were about professional wrestling. In 2005, WTIX dropped their call letters taking the calls WIST. Than after 21 years as an All-Talk station, The Mighty 690 reverted to its musical roots by adopting an America's Greatest Music format on January 1, 2009, which was an oldies based format with some New Orleans music mixed in, though it still retained a Talk Block from Noon to 6:00 pm, Eric Asher (noon-3:00 p.m.) and Kaare Johnson (3:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.) (according to the official WIST website). The format lasted less than a year and ratings were very low still so WIST announced on December 28, 2009 that they were abandoning the America's Greatest Music format and bringing in Fox Sports Radio to go along with its local talk block that was then 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. WIST was also now the flagship for all Tulane athletics play-by-play.

On December 8, 2012, WIST was sold to a Catholic Community Radio, Inc. They changed their format from sports talk to Roman Catholic religious programming and changed their call letters to WQNO on December 19, 2012. The station now runs Catholic programming from EWTN, Ave Maria, and Catholic Answers but also runs a number of local programs such as "Wake Up Louisiana", live mass from St. Louis Cathedral, a food/restaurant show "Around the Table", an apologetics program, and other local shows that feature south Louisiana Catholic culture.

Chencha

Chencha (also known as Dincha) is a town in southern Ethiopia. Located in the Gamo Gofa Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region, 37 kilometers north of Arba Minch, Chencha has a longitude and latitude of 6.25°N, 37.56667°W and an elevation of 2732 meters above sea level.

Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia published in 2005, Chencha has an estimated total population of 10,488 consisting of 4,750 men and 5,738 women. The 1994 national census reported this town had a total population of 5,787 of whom 2,630 were males and 3,157 were females. It is one of three towns in Chencha woreda.

History
Chencha had been the capital of Gamo-Gofa province until those offices were transferred to the more accessible city of Arba Minch in 1962. It has been the administrative center of Chencha woreda since at least 1964. Chencha is currently divided into Chencha town administration and Chencha Zuria woredas (the surrounding as a new woreda with its full governmental structures) and Ezo woreda, formerly among the kebeles in the chencha woreda. The town of Checha is known for traditional clothing of Shema as it includes the Dorze and other communities with traditional weaving undertakings. Chencha is a temperate climate zone with the potential and current production capacity of fruits and vegetables, different kinds of root plants, cereals, and timber trees. The town of Chencha is a tourist attracting place with the endowed beauty of nature and the topography of the town.

Dejazmach Beyene Merid had established his seat as governor of Gamo-Gofa at Chencha by 1935, when he was visited by missionaries and a German expedition. Chencha is known for its tall bamboo houses. Especially older ones can be up to 5 metres. In former times an ostrich egg used to be placed at the top. The life span of a bamboo house is about 60 years and more. They may be carried to a new site if rotting parts or termites become a problem.
