Check out the highlighted items... They admit their bias, and still are allowed to rate these purely political films... Note how there's NO mention of how this scum puts this out while we're at war... NONE.

What an UGLY beast she is, and that's her "air-brushed" version!!!

Timesink- do you still maintain the "media shenanigans" list?

[NYC Republican]

Our lovely hometown paper has not one, but two articles praising his movie... What a disgrace.

took some vacation last week with some "sheeple" friends of mine, who are totally detached from the news and the reality of the security challenges facing this country in the post 9-11 world. one observation I make regarding this film - the sheeple think this is some kind of "Saving Private Ryan" regarding the iraqi war and the war on terror. they view it as entertainment, rather then political propaganda. that sentiment may result in this film doing better at the boxoffice then we might think.

[NYC Republican]

Would love to hear your opinion... Will this hurt the President, or will it backfire? I tend to believe that it will backfire big-time...

Looks like Barbara Streisand DNA in the mix somewhere with that sizable proboscis.

The other unfortunate thing is that Hollywood cleared the schedule (DodgeBall and WhiteChicks are the only 2 "main" films out this week), to give this maximum exposure.

USA Today's reviewer gave it 3 1/2 stars and was most impressed by Bush's "bewildered, dumbstruck" reaction to the attacks because he stayed in the classroom 7 minutes. No mention that after the big 7 minutes, Bush and Cheney took absolute control that day and promptly kicked butt in Afghanistan and Iraq despite all the naysayers. i'm glad the USA Today jerk knows what was going through Bush's mind during those 7 minutes. I'll reach my conclusions based on what he did immediately thereafter. I have never seen any report that Bush was other than decisive that day.

Wasn't Oliver Stone raked over the coals when he took liberties with history and sprinkled conspiracy theories on top? It seems liberals have had a change of heart since then, and now applaud taking liberties with the facts and shown disproven conspracy theories as if they are knoen facts.

[Argus]

The liberals want to simultaneously use Moore's propaganda movie as a recruiting tool and dissociate themselves from its pro-terrorist extremism. They've come up with a characteristic straddle on the order of "I oppose the war but support the troops". They deplore Lumpy personally, but find a lot of "food for thought" in his outright lies and cinematic manipulations. And they bravely defend his right to "speak out" against "right wing censorship". This stance is so predictable that the reviews pretty much write themselves.

Exactly

[oceanview]

that same event is covered in the showtime 9-11 movie, I am not surprised Moore would twist it. Bush didn't want to frighten innocent school children, that's all that was about.

[AngieGOP]

"Bush didn't want to frighten innocent school children, that's all that was about."

We know that is what happened. Why would Moore and other Bush-hating liberals bother themselves with facts?

[Always Right]

I love how easy it is for leftists to equate O'Reilly to Moore. Moore is so far out of the mainstream than O'Reilly and doesn't care squat for the actual facts. Of course when all you hang out with are people who think pro-life people are fascists, you have to understand how warped their perspective is.

[Always Right]

Bush didn't want to frighten innocent school children, that's all that was about.

Well and Bush did not want to cause a panic. Can you imagine if Bush rush out of the room like we were under some nuclear attack or something. There was nothing for Bush to do in those 7 minutes that wasn't being done.

[AngieGOP]

Moore behaves as if none of the crap he puts out there can be refuted.

[dirtboy]

The thing is, it's not really a documentary. "Fahrenheit 9/11" is more reasonably seen as a filmic personal essay

Filmatic personal essay being a fancy film-critic term for "total bull****."

I say let Moore's propaganda be shown until every last American sees it.
He will not change the mind of anyone who actually has one.
