It is propaganda. It was on the news the other day. They said the fact that it's even being called a documentary is very misleading to audiences. Michael Moore did not show the full truth or even a balanced view of what really happened. Look, this first quote is from a Christian news site while the other is from a secular news site. Moore uses incorrect information to present a skewed view to the masses in hopes of swaying the public for his personal motives.
"There is very little here that anyone who has followed the politics of the past four years would consider new or revealing; for the most part, Moore's film is a merry, occasionally sentimental summary of every anti-Bush opinion column ever written. Moore is much less interested in plumbing the ambiguities and ironies of American political life than in doing whatever it takes to manipulate his audience's sympathies. The most striking thing about Fahrenheit 9/11 is not what Moore puts into the film, but what he leaves out. The problem with Fahrenheit 9/11 is not that it is one-sided, per se; it is that Moore barely acknowledges there even is another side. The problem is not that he fails to give the other side equal time or equal validity; it is that he shows virtually no interest in what that other side might be, and in how he might best deal with it. Inevitably, this weakens Moore's own arguments—or it would, if he was all that concerned about making any. Moore's appeal is more emotional and visceral than intellectual; in his own way, Moore is a fearmonger, and preying on the ignorance of his audience just as he accuses Bush of doing" - Peter T. Chattaway (Christian Movies Today) "The pitfall for Moore is not subjectivity, but accuracy. We expect him to hold an opinion and argue it, but we also require his facts to be correct. I was an admirer of his previous doc, the Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine," until I discovered that some of his "facts" were wrong, false or fudged. In some cases, he was guilty of making a good story better, but in other cases (such as his ambush of Charlton Heston) he was unfair, and in still others (such as the wording on the plaque under the bomber at the Air Force Academy) he was just plain wrong, as anyone can see by going to look at the plaque." - Roger Ebert (Chicago Suntimes) |

QUOTE(TBoltzbabe @ Jun 29 2004, 8:23 PM) You should seriously shut up, I believe it WAS called for. Maybe you should read what she had to say in response to my COMPLIMENT. And she did state interest in my body if she so tactfully took notice of it. I never personally offended anyone and she had to start the personal shit. Don't make me mad. I strongly suggest against it. oh should i? ok in your compliment, why did u even bother quoting her? if you were just trying to be nice why didnt u just leave the compliemnt? and she suggested something about your body, she didnt say she liked it or thought it was hot or anything like that. QUOTE oh yea & also to get a boob job & stop living out some little online bathing suit modeling fantasy. any interest in there? NOPE, just a suggestion. and as for yours..oohhhh my gosshhhhh, i dont wana get u mad? please save it, whats the worst that could happen. ill get bitched out by some arrogant chic on the computer?
