Could be. I know I'm cynical, but:
Michael Moore is an independent film-maker.
Michael Moore wins awards for his work.
Michael Moore's work has recently focused on US invovlement in the Middle East.
You could substitute this woman's name for Moore's and the statements would still be true. I admit I'm making assumptions, and maybe I shouldn't. But if a lisping man came up to you and said he was an Interior Decorator, what would you assume?
It's true that not every award-winning Independent film-maker is anti-American.
It's true that not every lisping Interior Decorator is homosexual.
But most of 'em are.
Like I said, I don't know her politics, but she's likely a leftie. They seem to gravitate more towards filmmaking.
BTW, that award she won was for journalistic bravery. It was named after another journalist who was shot to death in Moscow covering a story. She apparently has a brass set of balls on her when she wants to make a film. Unfortunately for her, that's why she's nowhere to be found right now.
