Poor Michael Moore. He can't win. If he steals someone else's stuff, we accuse him of plagarism. If he doesn't, we say he faked the headlines. We're so mean. Poor Michael Moore.
Can't win? The film grossed over $100M. Production costs? Nil. Take most of the movie from others, and add a little
personal work. Or part of the personal work, do some creative lying, er, editing. And voila! P.T. Barnum would be proud.
