The "neener neener" Michael Moore haters would love to have his $$$. They will say they wouldn't take it, but sit next to them with a suitcase full of a million bux in unmarked bills, and watch them wrestle with decisions...decisions...
You aren't interested in the facts, you are interested in the person who presents only the facts that support your point of view.
The fact that you can't see that the information he provides in his "excellent" films are only the ones which support the punch line is embarrassing for yourself.
There is an obvious point he is trying to make in his films. A documentary doesn't make a point, it presents the facts... ALL OF THEM... and allows the audience to deduce a point of few from that information.
Moore's movies, every single one of them, provides only the information which supports the point HE wants to make. People like you buy right into it hook line and sinker.
I don't give a rats if you listen... frankly, not worth my time.
So why don't you make a movie about how America has the best health care system in the world. Of course, Michael Moore has an agenda, his agenda is to show what it's like to be a middle class or poor American. If you don't like it or can't handle it, don't watch it. But to say they are packed with lies is just not true.

His "agenda" is to get rich by selling pablum to the masses.
His "agenda" is promoting a biased "documentary" in an effort to advance leftists political agendas. For all the screaming that leftists do about Rush Limbaugh, do they not realize that Michael Moore is just the same thing on the other end of the spectrum.
Well the state of Michigan has an unemployment rate of 15% right now. And that does not include the number of people under-employed people. It is estimated that if you include the under-employed and the people who have not been able to find work for over a year, that the real number is more like 25%.
You have to take analize a micro-economic selective climate to make your point. I am looking at the who capitalistic country... which is the appropriate point of view. Afterall, he already made a film about flint... this is about capitalism.

Absolutley. We are a spoiled society. My grandparents started working when they were 10. My grandmother pulled a red wagon down the highway full of lunches for the crew building the road. She was employed by the state. My grandfather caught the train behind his house with a lantern to the mines when he was 16. The finally bought their first house in a rural area in their mid-30s.
My parents didn't have to do these things. They were educated and assume positions out of high school which allowed them to buy their first modest house when they were 24.
Me and my new wife didn't have to worry about the things my parents did. We had it easier.
The problem isn't people are getting poor, its that people have a higher expectation, or sense of entitlement, for their quality of life. Americans somehow feel they are owed prosperity. They are owed a life void of sacrifice or living within their means.
Our "poor" people have a roof over their head, they have an air conditioner in the wall, drive 2 cars, and are putting their kids through an education. Thats poor? No thats qualifying those with the least in the society as "poor" even though they are very far from it.
Maybe the right should get themselves a great documentary maker to put out some "right wing agenda" films. I wonder what they could make films about?
Michael Moore is not a "documentay maker". He is a propagandist. I would think that a conservative propagandist would be just as embarrassing as Michael Moore.
It is very sad that anyone actually believes his tripe and looks at it as anything more as silly leftist entertainment. It is far from a "documentary". Ken Burns makes documentaries. Check them out and see the difference. Ken Burns is a lib, but does not seem to be preoccupied with propaganda.

So, basically, you have nothing to contribute to the discussion other than trying to demonize those people who oppose the views and hypocrisy of the man.
Nice.
