MIchael Moore is pushing an agenda. But is he dishonest in how he presents the information or just biased in favour of his own cause? Are you calling him a liar?
Ah, that's a complicated question with a complicated answer. Moore is sort of a genius at creating a perception of an untruth without quite coming out and lying about it, even his baseball cap wearing blue collar persona is fiction (he lives in an NYC penthouse, not Flint Michigan, and has been a multi-millionaire for many years). He worked one day on an automotive line, though he presents himself as the champion of the autoworker. I could go into great detail about the deceptions present in everything he's produced from
Roger and Me to
Fahrenheit/911, but it would be much quicker for you to go over to
www.moorewatch.com and check their archives, they are sort of a clearing house of the real dirt on Michael Moore. I believe that one of their regulars even cowrote an expose on Moore, titled
Michael Moore is a Fat Stupid White Man, informative reading if techniques of deceptive film making are interesting to you.
