The late Pauline Kael wrote the definitive review of the fraudulent Roger & Me.

Her scathing dissection of that film's inherent flaws-the most prominent of which was its reliance on doctored footage-will stand out in relief for future reference, when new film historians examine how the discredited Mr. Moore was able to manipulate a large subsection of the American filmgoing public.

Moore can make picayune criticisms of Paul Berman all he wants-and I'll be the first to admit that some of Berman's obnoxiously leftist, doctrinaire political opinions rub me the wrong way-but that will not detract from Mr. Berman's reputation as either a scholar or a writer.

If nothing else, the man is a true intellect, unlike the vagabond who issues denunciations of him from the safety of his dacha on Lake Michigan.

I have not seen the definitive review of Roger & Me by Pauline Kael so I cannot comment on her.
I will simply say that I worked in Flint for G.M. for 30 years and don't need a third person news commentator to tell me the story because I was there.
I saw first hand the TV and I heard the radio and these activist auto workers were in the news daily if not hourly for well over 10 tears and it is documented. Moore worked with them and turned on them and if their opinions are not represented then there is "NO" definitive review.
If there is truly a "MICHAELGATE" the public must decide for themselves so lets not close our ears to people that were on the cutting edge.
The people at westfallmike.tripod.com
were the people on the cutting edge and it is documented.
