Moore is making a lot of money off his BS.  And it's a shame.

I don't object to anyone making a movie I would disagree with or not enjoy, as long as they don't tell lies and present it as the truth.  I would prefer they make an honest movie that makes us think, evaluate and maybe initiate change for the good.

I thought this would be a thread about Howard Stern getting his plug pulled.

As far as Michael Moore goes, Disney did him a HUGE favor by refusing to distribute his movie.- the publicity will sell out theatres everywhere.

Like presenting false and misleading statements as justification to going to war? I agree wholeheartedly

Typical response from a liberal, I talk about a movie maker known to slant things, the liberal has to make everything about bad bad bush.  So sad.  Better get ready for another 4 years of bad bad bush.

:rofl

Oh, it's an unproven charge anyway. Just ignore that stuff.

Slant is relative. Go watch a John Ford documentary.
