An honest checking of facts usually doesn’t included bouncing things that you hear against what you believe or want to believe, seeing how they match up, and then embracing as fact everything that matches up with what you believe to be, or desire to be true.

Farenheit 9/11 is a very educational movie. For those interested in witnessing Sophistry in action.
 
Even N.P.R noticed the “facts” in Mr. Moore’s “documentary” were questionable.

And he has still not even learned to exercise the less than lovely fat roll’s off and how to shave! 😛

Pitiful little Fat boy! That is all he is. :rolleyes:
Nice.

If NPR got it and said it - that’s really something…talk about basic truth finally making it to the top of the “talking points” - thanks for the post. Cheered me immensely.
 
You folks need to be careful. Calling Michael Moore a “fat boy” and saying he is a college dropout! The thought police, politically correct crowd are gonna get you! :bigyikes: (Ooooh, are we scared?)

Well the charity police will be here shortly I’m sure - run, duck, cover!
 
A National Public Radio reporter describes a scene in which an Iraqi woman wails about the death of a loved one:

reporters who were taken around to see the sites of civilian deaths during the bombing of Baghdad also observed that some of those errant bombs were fired by Iraqi anti-aircraft crews. Mr. Moore doesn’t let the audience know when and where this bomb was dropped, or otherwise try to identify the culprit of the tragedy.

Care isn’t necessary. But let’s be honest. Michael Moore’s weight isn’t relevant. Unless, of course, someone is foolish enough to think that an overweight person is inherently untrustworthy simply because he is overweight. Likewise, whether or not Moore finished college isn’t relevant. Does a college degree somehow inculcate virtue? I missed this section of the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the college graduates, for they shall always speak the truth.”

IOW, if the topic of discussion is the honesty (or more accurately the lack of honesty) in Fahrenheit 9/11, then the topic is best served by sticking to it.

Okay, fair enough. How does disingenuous America-hating socialistic utopian sit with you? Sounds more kitchy than fat-boy college drop-out anyway.
