I'm currently watching a documentary called "Manufacturing Dissent: Uncovering Michael Moore."
At one point it states: "Michael Moore could only have become popular in a vacuum. If there were a vibrant left in the United States, Michael Moore's milk toast radicalism would be laughed at rather than laughed with."
Michael Moore admits that he manipulates film to make his point.
I figured this was true when I saw "Sicko," which pointed out that socialized medicine is basically flawless, which I know to be true based on my own personal conversations with Canadians.
This is interesting.
I love Michael Moore documentaries, but this one I'm watching (by Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine) teaches me not to take all of his facts as absolute truth.
