Here is the problem...even though we all know Moore is a big fat liar (literally and figuratively) a great part of the American public will take it as gospel, just because they saw it on TV or in a movie...You know...the people who only read the local newspapers and watch ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and are convinced that these programs/publications are fair and balanced. Those people who do not seek out the truth for themselves will just accept this bunk. AND DISNEY HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO BROADCAST THE HIT FILM FAR AND WIDE...thus giving the liberals opportunity to use it.

It's like when the NYTime or Washington Post runs a headline quoting some outragous charge by a DemoRat "Republicans want to starve old people", "Bush Knew" or the editor himself makes a questionable assertion in the headline "Did Bush Know?"
It doesn't matter what follows, the ideas have been given credibility because of their presentation. It's like the question, "have you stopped beating your wife?". The media will air the charges made in the film and not objectively taking Michael Moore to task for his hyperbolic statements and outright fabrications, he gets a pass. After all, he won an Oscar for best Documentary; he must be a professional in his field.
Disney owns ABC. Nuff said.

I know that if you measure their noise they "represent" 90% of American opinion.
If you count noses, they represent perhaps 10-15%.
Therein lies the crux of the possible countermoves.
