Look….nobody needs a movie to realize what a war mongering, lying, misleading stupid moron who's surrounded himself with big business, money grabbing at the cost of innocent lives fuckheads Bush is?

This reminds me of the time that a friend of a friend of mine walked out of "Dogma." To this day, she says that she was completely "open-minded" about the film. There is a lot in this world that I'm fairly biased about, but at least give something a chance. No harm in that, is there? Sure you might line his pockets some, but at least then your criticism doesn't sound so desperate and simple-minded. Hell, all this and I don't even like Moore.

but the comparison that the news is as biased as moore is a stretch.
You know what's really biased? Someone who takes a position on a film without seeing it and weighing the facts… and then goes so far as to try to debate its merits and validity.

A quote from Moore:
"I would like to see Mr. Bush removed from the White House."
"It's an op-ed piece. It's my opinion about the last four years of the Bush administration. I'm not trying to pretend that this is some sort of, you know, fair and balanced work of journalism."
OF COURSE IT'S BIASED. You have your Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, etc…giving out their bias on a daily basis. We have Moore, Franken, et al..
If you have such a problem with Moore, do your part and vote for your guy. If you make over $250K a year and donate to the RNC it's probably in your best interest anyway.

A fabulous point. Course, Moore does call his work documentaries (which on the whole they mostly are), while the others call their shit Fox News. Or MSNBC.

interesting article even though its not about the film..
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040630/323/ex1bt.html note the last two paragraphs…i think it says something for the administrations plan in iraq.
It said the US plan was "to build an Iraqi state as conceived by the United States…and enslave Saudi Arabia politically, fight against Islamic proselytism as a salafist and jihadic movement."
"This would be (for the US) the first step toward the eradication of hardline Islam in the entire world," it said.

i didn't read most of the posts because there are 49 of them but hopefully you don't take the FILM for fact. He has even said it his his opinion portrayed in the FILM. don't think the FILM wasn't edited in some scenes…you don't get an even point of view just that of one trying(succedeing) to make bush look bad.
i didn't see the whole thing because i saw spiderman and dodgeball. i snuck into the end of 911. i will eventually go see 911 butdon't feel like paying to see a political film.
