"this movie will go a long way towards generating negative opinion for the current administration in the mind of idiots."

Well said. Michael Moore is the king of fuzzy facts, misleading arguments, and slick film editing. His films are hardly documentaries

As a liberal I must say I'm constantly disappointed in Michael Moore's work. I think his tendency to selectively use facts and play the emotion card on all fronts possible only undermines the goals of forward-thinking progressives. I'm dedicated to removing the most inept and dangerous administration of the past fifty years, but I don't see how using tactics such as Mr. Moore's expedites that objective.

All principles aside,

If someone's going to make a post about religion, politics, ethics, etc, I'd much rather it be talking about how much everyone sucks instead of how just one side sucks. So, with that in mind, this is a very Steve-friendly rant.

I'm constantly at odds about who in politics I dislike the most, which is why I generally say I just hate politics.

Michael Moore has said himself, I think it was in the Free Press, that he doesn't claim that this film is a documentary. He's well aware of the one-sidedness and negative nature of his work. That said, I haven't seen it, so I can't judge the film for myself, but hearing nothing but negative things, doesn't make me want to see it anymore. I think I'll just draw conclusions from more impartial news sources (read: Not Fox News) and do the best I can. Filmmaking is a product of Hollywood afterall.

No blog

Life's great not having a blog. Instead of writing my own [rant] entries, I can read Steve's... er and Brad's.
