Lest any believe that Disney/Miramax is not involved in the financing of Lumpy's next political smear, see this June thread: Is Disney Lying to America About Michael Moore?" (ABC-Disney-Miramax funding project)

Michael Moore lies *bang

Someone loaned me this DVD last week and I'm a bit mystified at the appeal. I was hoping it would at least be on par with Reefer Madness but, honestly, the only thing I found entertaining was the edited clip from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

I did laugh when Moore was making an ass of himself by blaming W2 for that six-year-old boy shooting the six-year-old girl near Flynt. And I only thought that was funny because I thought Moore was serious.

Then, while looking up the facts online, I found defenders saying its only a pseudo-documentary comedy and not meant to be taken seriously, so if Moore was goofing about the W2 thing, that's not funny at all.

The only coherent part of the movie was that racist cartoon, but it wasn't really funny either.

Really, what was it? And why is it so universally praised?

I listened to a few minutes of C-SPANs open line program yesterday and heard a caller (supposedly only first-time callers on Labor Day) complain that the host, Peter, and Brian Lamb were tilting to the right. She said that she listened all the time and that the lack of representation of guests from the left was 'getting worse.'

The CSPAN host tried to remember who had been guests on Saturday and Sunday - one of the names he mentioned was Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth - then he asked the caller who she would like to hear on the program.

The only name that she could come up with was MICHAEL MOORE.

This led me to conclude that when lefties DO actually listen to conservatives discuss issues they feel the 'lack of balance' because libs do not give reasoned, articulate interviews as conservatives generally do. Libs deal in soundbites and personal attacks.

To this caller, the only person who could balance a Stephen Moore is a Michael Moore. Yet I think she was 'sensing' that she needed to hear someone from her political perspective give reasoned rebuttal to the ideas of a Stephen Moore.

WOW! That is so revelatory of the mind of a leftie.

Hollywood loves him. He gets a pass.

I wonder if this failure to meet the advertising requirement gives the Academy an "out"? They can withdraw the Oscar® brand movie award for purely "technical" reasons without addressing the documentary accuracy of the film in question, and Michael Moore can claim he lost his Oscar® brand movie award for similar reasons.

Rules are for the little people, don'cha know.

Fraud? You mean that MM committed a fraud on the fraud that is the Academy Awards/Oscar process? Shameful. Shameful that he did it and even more shameful that they willingly let him get away with it. Doesn't surprise me at all.
