I'm glad you admit it. Maybe you should take back what you said since you have no idea what you're talking about?

I just don't like the way he markets it as a documentary when in fact it is not.
How do you know ? You've never seen it.

Moore presents images and facts from people's own mouths and lets you draw the conclusion. Like GWB looking like an ignorant frat boy. He doesn't say he's an ignorant frat boy, he lets you see it for yourself.

It's as much a documentary as any other. Every film maker has a point of view. He may be more dramatic, but that's allowed.

Pay for Propoganda
like pay per view but for people that want to donate to the Ultra liberal Left and MM own favorite charity his fatwallet. I will love to see this if I can borrow it.

If you don't think that this is propaganda it's sad. Also I notice how you avoid anything about him making MILLIONS as a 9/11 profiteer. Rich Bastage should donate a crapload of it to those effected.

Quite right. Roger Ebert has stated that all documentaries have a "point of view" and it's simply is not the case that all documentaries are unbiased except for those that we don't like, which we then see as somehow "biased," and we refuse to call them documentaries.

this is not Biased it is an outright arm of the DNC this is propoganda not Bias. He's actively rooting against President Bush.

... says the guy who admits he's never seen the movie. Good to see you're keeping an open mind and not jumping to conclusions based on partisan disinformation.

I'm still waiting for you or any of the other Bush sycophants to list all of the material errors in Moore's facts. I am not holding my breath, however.

Exman, please think for yourself. I know you've been programmed by the Fox Youth and Radical Clerics but why don't you watch the movie for yourself and then get back to us? CADkindaGUY did it... so can you. :) Cheers

For one, he changed the title of the book that Bush was reading on 9/11. I'm pretty sure the title of a book is rather straightforward and can't be presented from a partisan point of view.

The real title is "The Pet Goat".

He also altered a newspaper article by blowing up a letter to the editor I believe.

Side note, Keith Olbermann just reported that F9/11 had a 10% bump in its post-RNC weekend gross, despite being shown on 21% fewer screens.

Good goin' Senator McCain. :thumbsup:

Sorry you guys are retards. :)

I ALREADY said
sure I am not qualified to say it is a bad movie

How do I have an open mind? Does he? Do you? I have seen interviews of him, read his articles. It is Clear he has more than bias he is more less a booster and or fundraiser through combining openings with 527's that are liberal. If you cannot admit to that you are blind. The DVD release is just a commercial and a money maker.

Also I don't see any libs STILL having a problem with MM profiteering from 9/11 like no other. last time I checked it was over $115,000,000 in sales then I wonder if they are co-ordinating with DNC?? Really not needed not difficult to figure this out.

listen to yourself for a minute someone take away your candy? In the Film how does the bin laden family escape? From what I have gathered even from MSNBC sources that this was artistic license, bad information, or just a little white lie.
