Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11
telstar writes "According to Michael Moore's website, he plans to forgoe the nomination for Best Documentary in an effort to get his highly controversial movie Farenheit 9/11 on television. Despite having no assurances from the home video distributor, Moore hopes to air the film prior to the November elections ... suggesting the eve of the elections as a potential air date. Considering how many questions have been raised as to whether Moore's movie presents truth or propaganda, one has to wonder whether airing such a controvercial movie on the eve of an election helps or hurts the political process by influencing the vote with last-minute emotions rather than thoroughly contemplation."
... that way we can have a mind-numbing propaganda trifecta. At least Moore tries to back his claims up with facts. He may read more into the facts than some consider reasonable but at least he just doesn't spout off the party line, right or wrong, proven or unproven, truth or lie, like those other do-do heads.
The way I see it, the Repubs rule the news channels with their pill-popping fat man (Rush) and ignorance-spouting loud mouth (O'Reilly). Not to mention the 'we can win every debate if we stage it' crap that is Hannity and Combs. The Dems rule the theaters with their whale-of-a-good-time Moore and the comedy-satire scene with folks like Jon Stewart and Al Franken.
Looks like an even playing field to me.
LilMikey.com... I'll stop doing it when you sto
>I can come up with better F-words than W-words.
go ahead, but the context is missing, as the entire Kerry campaign isnt based on branding of the letter "F".
did you see the bumper stickers that say "W '04" ? you dont see any "F '04" stickers, do you?
"W" is a branding campaign. Its a damn good branding campaign. Its the *only* thing that make George W. Bush electible. If you'd like I can go into it more...
... hi bingo
Unless you count the ones killed by american soldiers in iraq, i'd say about a thousand.
Problem is that people like you get hung up on the small points and on't address the broader issues that his films present.
So the advert that said free gun with a bank account was fiction ?. Fair enough I'll beleive you, but for many people giving out one free gun is one too many. The fact that the bank did it at all is the issue. Only in america could you get such a mix of capitalism and crypto facism.
