Michael Moore tells Blair, "you're next!"

The BBC reports other people telling half-truths. Moore goes out and manufactures them himself.

Get it?

Besides, we've got Mark Thomas. Who's usually actually funny. I don't think Moore has ever made me, you know, laugh.
 
Moore's motives are no big mystery. Hell, even Al Jazeera sees it!
 
If Moore followed the money from Iraq to the UN and then speculated how European public opinion would have differed if the objective was the demonization of Iraq I'd give him some credit. Funny thing is that Europeans actually think that they made up their own minds.

Ugh...I used to be a big supporter of Moore, until I figured out how liberally he edits his films...cuts and pastes speech... But I can't say my entire support is gone. Bush's lies kill people, Moore's(hopefully) discredit Bush...

Bush doesn't need to be discredited with lies, in fact that would be 100% counterproductive, as it will cause people to mistrust the truth as well.

There are plenty of true things to criticize Bush with, and I hope that Moore will stick to them. I enjoyed Bowling for Columbine but I believe it would have been a stronger film had he spent less time making Charlton Heston look bad, and stuck to his message about American culture.

Not that I am a fan of Mr. Heston or the NRA--I just think attacking him did nothing for what was otherwise a highly intriguing film, and in fact raised too many questions about bias and creative editing.

Gnome, why can't more people be reasonable like you?

The BBC seems very balanced to me.

LOL!! About as balanced as Al-Jazeera!

There are probably some Republicans that are funny. I exaggerate. Dennis Miller is Republican, isn't he? :D

Yep. He used to be funny, too! ;)

Exactly! Very perceptive.... The problem with Moore is that he has Oliver Stone disease...a worse case than even Oliver has. :rolleyes:
