[This is a preliminary version of an article that will be published on National Review Online.]

There are many articles which have pointed out the distortions, falsehoods, and lies in the film Fahrenheit 911. This report compiles the Fahrenheit 911 deceits which have been identified by a wide variety of reviewers. In addition, I identify some inaccuracies which have not been addressed by other writers.

The report follows the approximate order in which the movie covers particular topics: the Bush family, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. This report focuses solely on factual issues, and not on aesthetic criticism of the film.

To understand the deceptions, it helps to understand Moore’s ideological position. So let us start with Moore’s belief that the September 11 attacks on the United States were insignificant.

If only the main stream media would review this list and provide some fair and balanced reporting on the deception that is the movie.

In terms of marketing the film, Front Row is getting a boost from organizations related to Hezbollah which have rung up from Lebanon to ask if there is anything they can do to support the film. And although [Front Row’s Managing Director Giancarlo] Chacra says he and his company feel strongly that Fahrenheit is not anti-American, but anti-Bush, “we can’t go against these organizations as they could strongly boycott the film in Lebanon and Syria.”

The anti-war loons and the terrorists really are joined at the hip...

Where is the full report ..?? I checked NRO and it's not there .. unless I just didn't see it.

If by reading this expose on Moore's deceptions a ticket buyer feels that Moore cheated him out of the price of admission, could the person file a class action suit for millions of dollars against the movie and its financial backers??

Is there a lawyer in the house?

Googlize the terms Islamist, leftist, marxist, alliance, allied, allies in various combinations and see what you get.

Fifty-six Deceits in Fahrenheit 911

This is a preliminary version of an article that will be published on National Review Online.

This report was first posted on the web on the morning of July 1. Since then, I've revised several sections in response to reader requests for clarifications, and have added additional deceits which have been pointed out by readers or journalists. Astute readers will observe that the number of identified deceits now exceeds 56. I have not retitled the report or re-numbered the original 56 deceits. The final version will update the deceit count.]

It's kind of an unfortunate title for a piece, because the number of "deceits" could go up...

This is still the "preliminary version" .. at least from what I can tell.

I want the final version because he has added some elements and clarified some of his previous statements.

Thanks anyway.

"If only the main stream media would review this list and provide some fair and balanced reporting on the deception that is the movie"

Unfortunately, most of our media considers it their sworn duty to support the Democrats and the ideology of the left.

For that reason, they perform no useful service, to the public, whatsoever.

Just in time. I was talking with a liberal friend who had seen 911 and was thoroughly impressed with the points she had thought it had made. I wonder if she will read what I have to give her.
