If you're saying that he uses lies, exaggerations and omissions, how can you say that it goes unchallenged when you're right here challenging it? That's silly. And i'm sure you didn't come to that complete conclusion on your own, but with the aid of other Mike Moore haters. Those haters are the Laura Ingraham's and Limbaugh's of the world. And even if you don't listen to those two specifically, you're listening to some form of right wing tripe out there that is certainly anti-Moore.

Again, if you don't like what he has to say, ignore him. Trust me, he doesn't need you in his audience. He'll still make millions....and you'll avoid a headache and raise in blood pressure.

Any proof of these lies, exaggerations and/or omissions?

Including Christopher Hitchens?!?? Before you read the article I suggest you research who he is.

The lies of Michael Moore. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine

BTW, I'm pretty calm.

In fairness Moore is just the flip side of the 2 idiots you mentioned above. None of them are particularily honest in their portrayals.

The sad part is that Moore has a real talent and picks some important topics but in treating them a little fast and loose sometimes he loses the impact of impartiality.

The irony here being that he's no fan of Obama after the continuation of the wars etc. On that level I have to respect him for his conviction to a cause\topic instead of being a party shill like so many on the left and right around here.

Technically you are right, I believe he spends more time in Hollywood.


''Clinton was a pretty good president for a Republican.''

''I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do.''

''Should such an ignorant people lead the world? How did it come to this in the first place? 82 percent of us don't even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a language other than English.''

''White people scare the crap out of me.''
Michael Moore


Note to Michael, you are white.
