Regarding the content - this is different story. Much has been written on it, so one can be familiar with it.

No. If you want to comment on the content of a movie, you have to see that content and make the judgement on your own. You cannot rely of the judgements of very negatively biased individuals that write slanderous articles about it.

But that is not important... if you don't see Moore as spiteful and full of hatred, that is your right - I have no problem with it. Many would disagree with you on this one... but what does this have to do with movies?

It has to do with the fact that you're making judgements of the film maker without seeing his film.

It certainly looks like you have something stuck somewhere, as your last sentence is completely without any basis, as far as I can see.

Hardly. It seems that the people that choose to argue against Moore and his films are the ones that HAVEN'T SEEN them!

one could certainly ask the question of the type: "The quoted source provided clear evidence of fact manipulation on part of Moore that is pure misrepresentation and lies - what is your response regarding that particular episode?"

Someone mentioned the changing tie episode... if you want to take just this small one and defend it - go ahead, if not - I see no reason to change my opinion on Moore.

I am not defending it. It is an isolated incident that really has no bearing on the the other factual content of the film.

Why is it OK for Hardy and Kopel to use the same techniques in their articles about the film, but it's not OK for Moore to use them?
