My two cents on propaganda

documentary - 1. consisting of, concerning, or based on documents 2. Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film

Greetings! Can anyone guess what any of this is all about? If you guessed that it has something to do with Michael Moore, than you guessed correctly. Most of you are aware that Moore's "documentary" entitled Fahrenheight 9/11 is now in theaters. As you may have noticed, I don't really take the labeling of the film as a documentary very seriously. The definition at the top of this post explains that a documentary presents facts "objectively without editorializing," however, Moore does just the opposite of this. Those of you who have seen Moore's previous movies, such as Bowling for Columbine, probably know what I'm talking about. It has been proven that many of the scenes that are shown in his movies are either staged (such as the Canadian Wal-Mart scene in BFC) or completely inaccurate (false information on the Bin Laden family's evacuation from the US after 9/11 on his new film). Moore even explains that the main reason he made this film was to try to prevent Bush from getting re-elected. Thus, his film is in no way a documentary. It's extremely leftist propaganda. There is no objective look at the facts, and in much of the movie, there is a lack of facts all together. What's truly sad is that some people will actually take many of the things that he says to heart as being the truth. So, this may even go as far as to affect an uninformed voter's decision as to whom they will elect.

I realize that recommending a boycott of this heap of garbage would be absolutely stupid on my part; however, I do have one plea. If you want to see this movie, don't put money in this asshole's pocket at the same time. As I have mentioned, Moore's purpose for creating this flick is to deny Bush the presidency for another 4 years. This means that he is going to release the film before election day. So instead of going to theaters, wait for a few weeks and visit your local video store or public library. By renting the movie, you will deny Moore of any money.
