Reception

In 2004, Washington Post staff writer Desson Thomson found the documentary similar to Fahrenheit 9/11, The Corporation and Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism.[4]

gollark: Nope, pretty sure that's fixed.
gollark: There is also ESNI now, or whatever they renamed it to. I will be deploying this once it makes it way into mainline nginx.
gollark: Your `apt` commands are futile, because btw I use arch.
gollark: HSTS was designed to stop MITM attacks from just downgrading you to HTTP.
gollark: .dev is on the HSTS preload list. Modern browsers will refuse HTTP connections to it and do HTTPS instead. It won't affect nonbrowsers.
