Jul. 2nd, 2004 09:47 amI've noticed that a lot of the people are pissed at Michael Moore for misleading people who watch his films in order to get his point across. Oh, oh my God! Misleading people!? Thank heavens he's not up for re-election. And thank heavens he isn't misleading us into WAR. Many people seem to think that documentaries should somehow be impartial and cater to both sides of the debate. When has that ever been the case? That's the beautiful thing about watching a documentary. If you possess a brain, and the topic interests you, you can dig up tons of 'facts' from both sides of any argument. You can make up your own mind. Arguing over symantics and finger-pointing is silly. All Moore's done is reduced himself to the level of the Bush administration. For that, I can't defend him - what he does makes him look just as bad as the other guys, to many people. If you say he lies, I'd agree...but I don't think his lies have gotten anyone killed just yet.
