He has never made a documentary. He makes propaganda films.

Moore does present some facts but they are tainted with half-truths and omissions to slant the process of deduction and reason. What about Paddy Chayefsky's movie: "The Hospital" ?
At the very least he is in the business of helping to raise public awareness about pressing social issues - and that is always a good thing.
He's in the business of making himself a celebrity and getting himself into the headlines more than in helping people. His movies all shout "look at me, I'm angry at this..." and "look how clever I am, I've exposed this (supposed injustice)...
Remember Katrina? Hears what I wrote concerning MM's bashing the pres about it:
Dear Mr Moore;
How about getting off your self-righteous assets and do something positive for a change instead of making millions by bashing the President. "If you aren't a part of the solution, you are part of the problem" I know hundreds of people lining up to house displaced and homeless people (Church people for all you Christian bashers out there). How many folks will you house Mr Moore? I've sent money to several relief organizations. How much are you sending Mr Moore? I imagine you will sit and pontificate about how its all being done wrong and then figure out a way to make a movie so you can keep yourself in the news. You are a bottom-feeding jerk Mr Moore.
I feel his actions over the last year or two have continued to verify that I was right.
