NBC Nightly News Disses Fahrenheit 911!

Posted on 06/25/2004 4:30:09 PM PDT by MplsSteve

The NBC Nightly News' Truth Squad did a review of Michael Moron's Fahrenheit 911.

Here are a few words they used to describe this "documentary"...

Misleading Deceitful

This is not a joke.

NBC was not kind to Moore's movie as they analyzed it to see whether it was factual or not.

I wish the clip or transcript were available. It did my heart good to see a major media outlet lay it on the line for once.

Did anyone else out there see this tonight?

No waaaaaaaay! That`s like saying Al-Jazeera completely agrees with Bush.

In other words, it's just propaganda just as "The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion" was propaganda.

When is the media going to stop calling it a "documentary"?

Yeah, but Moore would just dismiss them as part of a right-wing corporate cabal determined to silence him.

That is what I'm thinking,So Much Hype So Little Fact,I think the main goal in to keep it clean till it goes to DVD.

Seems funny all the networks aren't saying anything good about the movie, but all of them are giving it plenty of air time.

What's the old saying?

Bad publicity is better than no publicity!

if you check the NBC website it appears to send a different message, or at least other news sources: Newsweek for example, says that the movie "may win more converts"

i'm still checking for more...

It's a sign of the times we live in when it's news that the news tells the truth. Now if only the "news" would point out the lies about Harvard professor Roger B. Porter, et al. in Clinton's "My Life." Fat chance.

The dems might be breaking into a cold sweat as they realize that they may have overplayed their hand as Moore's assertions are being shredded by the non-leftist media. Bush's new 'wild-eyed' commercial also plays right into the release of 9-11. We could be witnessing a complete meltdown here as the DNC's water carriers go into full damage control mode.

MM was already shown to be a liar in BFC, why anyone would approach his latest propaganda film without complete skepticism is beyond me.

I SAW IT!!! ABC Evening News dissed it too. I couldn't believe it. I taped them both. I didn't see CBS, but I can tell you this, Moore is frowning BIG TIME.

Lisa Myers (NBC) said at the end of the piece that "Moore says President Bush is worse than Usama Bin Laden and that pretty well questions his credibility." (paraphrased)

You all would have loved it!

It must be so over the top in the BS dept for them to say this. I mean he must have in this movie himself giving the rest of his Wendys 40 course triple burger large fry chicken nugget meal to a starving kid. NO ONE would ever believe that! Not even liberals.

We already saw them distance themselves, this is a nice sucker punch though.

Man you got it the rats (except for the real communist wing) are afraid American's are going to be really pissed. Which I think is exactly what will happen with middle America.

The majority of American's both democratic or Republican are patriotic and proud to be American, and have no patience for the blame it all on America socialist's.

this is the first time moore has tried to appeal to the people he pokes insults at, he's in for a lesson in what American's really think about this country.
