He has found his niche in life which financialy rewards him very handsomely. Before these documentaries, he was a newsletter writer, worked for Mother Jones magazine, was on his local school board, among other positions. All of which paid little to nothing. Then he took a gamble on himself making the documentary Roger & Me. The gamble paid off very well. Roger & Me was a critical and financial success and Moore became a celeb on the left and a millionaire.

Powerful people in the Hollywood industry were lining up to offer him deals. He no longer had to scrounge for funding his projects. If the Roger & Me movie had failed, he probably would have went back to writing for Newsletters that nobody reads, earning mere pennies if that. But Roger & Me was a wake up call to him. He could make documentaries that would appeal to those left of center. Didnt matter if these documentaries were filled with lies, he gets millions of bucks in return, be a celebrity, and a hero to his fellow leftists.

For him to stop telling lies, and start telling the truth means that he would have to go back to a near poverty existence as well as anonymity. And there's no way he's voluntarilly going back to that.

Well said.

It amazes me that Moore thinks he can speak for the public on healthcare yet doesn’t think enough of himself to lose some of that tonnage.

It’s like the coke addict preaching to others about the dangers of drugs while displaying a white powdered nose with a straw sticking out of it.

In Moores case it’s the powder from the donuts.
