Tables turned on Mikey Moore

[DesertFox]

THE hunter has become the hunted. Michael Moore, the celebrated left-wing film-maker, has become the unwilling subject of a new documentary that raises damaging questions about the credibility of his work.

The director and star of successful documentaries such as Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore has repeatedly been accused by his right-wing enemies of distorting or manipulating the material in his films. On his website he dismisses his critics as “wacko attackos”.

Yet the latest assault on Moore’s film-making techniques has come from an unexpected quarter. In Manufacturing Dissent, a documentary to be shown for the first time at a Texas film festival on Saturday, a pair of left-wing Canadian film-makers take Moore to task for what they describe as a disturbing pattern of fact-fudging and misrepresentation.

“When we started this project we hoped to have done a documentary that celebrated Michael Moore. We were admirers and fans,” said Debbie Melnyk, who made the film with her husband, Rick Caine. “Then we found out certain facts about his documentaries that we hadn’t known before. We ended up very disappointed and disillusioned.”

I hope the film finds a buyer.

Well, well, well. There actually are some libs who have integrity. Color me shocked.

Good for them, I say. Even if the epiphany came late, at least they acknowledged it when it came.

I'm not above congratulating libs when they do the right thing. So, kudos to you, Debbie and Rick.

I hope so, too, Best. About time that anti-America, lying, fat PIG got his comeuppance.

You mean the dismal failure is FINALLY "getting his"?

Can I get a "hallaleujah" from the congregation? LOL

[DoctorDoom]

Halleluiah!

[cerebraldebris]

Yeah, I give them credit for some long overdue honesty... just hope that honesty gets the publicity it deserves.

Where does the line form to see it?

[MrSanity]

I've seen FahrenHype 9/11 (Dick Morris and Ron Silver's expose of Fahrenheit 9/11), and part of Michael & Me (by Larry Elder, an expose of Bowling for Columbine).

Most of the liberals I talk politics with have agreed that Moore is manipulative with his facts, to the point of comedy.

As to complete libs making a film on him, I find amusing. Maybe it's worth a download or a rental.

But I'm not paying $20 for a lib-made movie.

What will Yukon and his moose do when they see this?
