Showing this film as "news" it nothing more than bias and you know it!

Certainly I don't know it. Showing the entire trailer, and being the first to do it, is a scoop. What's to be gained? First to show the trailer many people want to see... I must admit I am curious.

I see no reason for freepers to worry, btw. Moore's audience is the already converted.

What is always to be gained and one of our largest problems... the liberal brainwashing of the mushy middle.

I'm not sure its a "scoop" when the guy has been sending out promo pieces to any and every news outlet around. It sounds more to me like he's the first "journalist" who thought he could get away with showing it. More evidence of the laziness of the media.

Afterall, it was a slow news day, no Iraqui prison scandals or serious death tolls to report on. The economy numbers are good and polls indicate that people are optimistic about the future.

First of all it was not a scoop, it has had pretty ongoing coverage in the media before and during the presentation of his subjective documentary at the Cannes film festival; but will be absorbed osmotically by many ill informed as truth or fact under the "documentary" genre given, which is misleading in his attempt to steer the action his way without informing the audience" of such. Moore can direct and produce anything he wants, I just have a problem with it falling under the heading of a documentary.
