Too bad it took 30 years, but a leader like Trump made it happen.

Moore has been irrelevant for a long time.

It’s a sad reality for the man who once considered himself General Motors’ greatest scourge,

Nothing sad about this.

Is the fat man entitled to spew hate and venom? No one is interested in his 'work'.

"Roger and Me" is about Moore running around trying to get GM executives to care about the cities and people who were being devastated by GM closing auto plants and moving them offshore. Since then, one man has a plan to bring those factories back, and is acting on it. That is Donald Trump. What does Michael Moore think? He hates Trump and fights against him. Moore is the biggest hypocrite in the media.

For a realistic look at Flint and Moore’s relation to it, I recommend the book “Rivethead” by Ben Hamper. Hamper actually worked the assembly lines for years (unlike Moore), and made it clear that Flint had been in a slow decline long before the events of “Roger and Me”.

As to Moore’s fading from relevance, he irretrievably associated himself early on with the blue-collar voters that the Democrats have since thrown aside in favor of identity politics and urban snobbery. Witness his speech describing Trump’s election as “the biggest eff you in recorded history”...it explained the Rust Belt’s votes, but went ignored.

Michael Moore set the record for the highest-grossing documentary of all time (1989’s “Roger & Me”).

That was the only movie of his that I have seen. He did a good job of skewering GM and the lame efforts of Detriot's politicians to rejuvenate the city after the massive layoffs.

There was one absolutely scathing scene at an upper management party where they used some of the just-fired employees as "living statues" for the event.

It's still one to watch.

How well is GM doing? They certainly aren't what they used to be.

When Moore started, Maury Povich was also popular - the kind of shocking, tabloid, funny-yet-conspiratorial journalism was still en-vogue and acceptable.

Moore never moved on from that, but people are not interested in that style any longer.

It might be more apt to recognize that GM was on life support briefly, in Chapter 11, in 2009.

The good thing with negative incomes is that it forces you to eat less. I wish that’s what’s happenning to Michael Fat Moore.
