Fahrenheit 9/11
-Snip-
The White House calls the film "outrageously false," but Hollywood is hot for "Fahrenheit 9/11," documentary filmmaker Michael Moore's caustic broadside at President Bush

1. But will they say exactly *what* is false?
No. They probably found some typos in the credits.

"Michael Moore has shamelessly misspelled the key grip's name! We are outraged!"

2. This is how history will remember
the Bush years, thanks to Moore. I, for one, am grateful to him.

3. I like this ...
"fails to provide any hard facts or make any incriminating connections that a reasonably informed person doesn't already know about."

That's the whole point!!!!!

Only political junkies like us have been screaming about the facts that Moore is now presenting in his film. We've been marginalized, branded as conspiracy theorists and sore losers by the "liberal media". So Mr & Mrs Middle America haven't paid attention. Moore's film is a vehicle to present facts we've all known to a much wider audience. It may be effective.

5. Its really amusing seeing the faux news treatment of F911
Edited on Mon May-24-04 09:21 AM by sjr5740
One of the bushbots called the film unamerican.

The media reviewer dismissed the win at cannes and told viewers to wait until it is released in the states and gets a ' fair and balanced' treatment (the faux codewords said with a wink and a nod).

He also went on to reference claims made by an anti- moore book author.

I noticed a very peculiar thing about faux... They always quote the New York Post (a Murdoch rag) and the post in turn always quotes faux. Notice the circular news reporting. Each organization can claim immunity because they are only quoting the other guy.

On edit: I guess all the RW whorerags do it..
