Watched "Farenhype" and "Bush's Brain" last night.

Well, Farenhype was made very well. But it became shameless propaganda, instead of a documentary by the following shady practices:

(1) It basically basheds Michael Moore, as a person, not the factual assertions of his movie. "Ad Hominem" should be the name of the click.

(2) It only interviewed right wing people. No one middle of the road, except Dick Morris.

(3) I have never seen a more bogus practice than the narrator being the expert whose opinion is consulted! Ron Silver, who, living near the scene of 911 might not be the most impartial person.

(4) Too many Jews! Sorry, people, I said that for shock value! BTW, I am Jewish so do not take that the wrong way. But asking Jews "Should we have gotten rid of Saddam?" carries the risk that they have a vested interest, i.e., it is best for Israel; (but not necessarily for the US), which WE DO! Ask some Baptist in Pascagoula MS, if he worries about Saddam.

(5) It uses the "tu quoque fallacy"; that if it can point to toheres who made the same mistake as Bush, then bush did not make a mistake. Flailing by one very bitter Ron Silver and Dick Morris, at Bill Clinton. They show how Soros also has connections to the Carlyle Group, like that would erase Bush's. The "tu quoque" fallacy of logical argument.

In its defense, IT DID allege some FACTUAL errors in 911 (Yes, what I have been asking for!)! Bush did not have the kid's book upside down, is the teacher's claim (big deal; and no photos\proof).

The scarieist cen is when Bush addresses the press right after the 911 incident, adn cannot make a speech. he can only read from cards where someone has written a speech for him. He has nothing to say; other than what some unseeen hand has written for him to say. He can't evn read it well, he can't sellhis line. It is bizarre! NOTHING to say after 911. Nothing comes from his heart? That should chill anyone's bones.

After being told of 911, Bush sat for 5 minutes not 7, guy claims to ahve tape (but that tape is not shown, or Michale Moore's contrary tape explained.).

Bush was not frozen with fear, he was calmly planning the next move(Very unlikely, why he not had his chief of staff in on this mental planning session).

The Saudis did not fly out during the air clampdown, and they had good reason to leave, being afraid of staying. (They showed some dates, I do not know who is right, but they did show it was Clarke who OK'd it, not bush. Doesn't explain why the Bin Laden's were given preferential treatments. There are no other criminals family w gave plane rides out of the country to).

Bush's Brain.-Good, slow moving, but definitely NO SMOKING GUN. I believe the film maker's theories are right, that Rove is the evil genius behind all these terrible acts. But did this movie prove it? Far from it. It speculated; I think they are right, but no proof. Really, nothing even close to proof. I wish...

More facts, and better film making in "Hype" I am sorry to say. Hey, their team has more money.
