take Michael Moore with a grain of salt though he makes entertainment first, and documentaries second

he might be a truth bending whore, but his principals are spot on, and if he needs to manipulate the american public in such a manner then so be it, cos that country is fucked up atm.

The problem is, a liberal will get taken apart in the media for small errors or distortions, but they'll continue to lick and suck Ann Coulter's toes despite the huge swaths of pure fiction in her work.
So it's important to do some fact checking in addition to having your heart in the right place!

amazing isn't it?
but the thing about moore's book is he isn't so much as "manipulating the truth" as he's writing a political humor book that is completely non-fiction. it doesn't mean that the facts are wrong or manipulated, he just doesn't give all the details. he leaves that up to the reader to investigate for himself, perhaps using the footnotes.

So, anyone read this? Is it as good as his other stuff?
(It's not for me- it's a potential birthday present for my brother :-)

It`s excellent. Quite scary stuff. The Bush/Bin Laden family ties are for want of a better term "fucked up"

Haven't read it yet. I hate Michael Moore, but he brings up interesting points, I might as well be well versed on all side of the things he debates.

That's partly the point.
Also, there is supposed to be a new movie coming out?

Yes- Tis' a Double Entendre
There is supposed to be some scathing movie that will come out before the election- hopefully it will meet with a more positive reception than his Academy speech- if this country becomes any more patriotic the Republicans will bankrupt us faster than Enron.

True, but he's heard!
2 great moovies and a couple of shitty, but thought-provoking books.
Roger and Me is a funking awesome movie and socially astute commentary applicable to the plight of the modern working man in America today.

perhaps it's easier for americans to belive him, but from my point of view half of what he says is just silly...it's either he's full of shit or US is one crazy country...personally i think it's little bit of both.
anyway, imo moore tells (and belives) just as many lies as gw bush does...they're both blind for other people opinions. well i guess bush is a bit extremer.
