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."

The rule that 95% of everything is shit also applies to the human race; they can't all be rocket scientists and naturally someone is going to polarize the morons versus the educated... and their are always going to be alot more morons out there. :)

Again, following the rule that 95% of everything is shit, the same applies to humans. As such, it was only a matter of time before someone polarized the morons vs the intellectuals... and their are way more morons out there :)

And if you think that "the other side of the story" stands up, go make a documentary showing it (it's not as if you need a huge budget or a big crew). Again, for some reason no-one has...

Actually, at least two are:

and here

Also: If you think anything in Fahrenheit 9/11 is a lie, sue Moore and get rich. I'm sure you'll find plenty of people willing to finance your legal expenses (as long as they don't have to go public). For some reason no-one has...

If this is so wrong, how come Moore or "someone" hasn't sued him? Therefore it must be correct by your "logic".

Politics is sad nowadays. I'm voting indy.

Yes, I'm sure Kerry says he would have done

I'm not. I really don't give a flying flip WHAT Kerry would have done. All I'm saying is that an airplane flying into the apex and culmination of American Civiliaziton, even if it looked like an accident at the time, is just a TAD bit more important than reading "My Little Pony" to a bunch of snot-noses, even for seven minutes. It shows a tremendous, stupifying lack of common sense, and a general unfitness to be Commander in Chief, and the bum should have been fired just for that. I don't CARE who would be next (be it Kerry, or Cheyney, or Bozo the Frickin' Clown for that matter) all I'm saying is Bush is an embarassment to the military, has no common sense, and, it seems to me from the way he talks and behaves, suffers from alcohol abuse induced brain damage.
