[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably Fahrenheit 9/11.  I know Michael moore is maligned/ridiculed as being a talking head for the left, but what a filmmaker.  This film (and his others) are multidimensional, perfectly timed, complex, thoroughly researched, and most of all entertaining.  This documentary in particular left me speechless.[/quote]

Moore is an infotainer/propagandist.  Most of the so called “facts” in his films have been thoroughly debunked.[/quote]
 What facts have been debunked?

US gun culture run amok ? (Stats back that up)

Global capitalism run amok (stats can support that but state equally can support the view that extreme poverty has been decreasing. MM makes valid points about minimum wage in US being under the poverty threshold, Wall Street acting reckless and real estate markets not supporting housing security for large chunks of population)

MM’s linking fast food, low wages and obesity epidemic is not debunked (tad ironic though given MM’s size).

We rushed into Iraq war on false claims of weapons of mass destruction threatening our security. There is no evidence SH had weapons of mass destruction let alone that he planned to use than against the US.

There is a big difference between debating and debunking facts.
