Moore For Less

Michael Moore has endorsed the placement of his award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 911 on YouTube — all two hours of it. I had mixed feelings about the film when I first saw it and spent a fair amount of time prowling websites that pointed up alleged inaccuracies. For the most part, I was unconvinced the film was any less accurate than the norm for media these days…just a bit more honest about its maker's mindset.

I especially did not buy the argument that because of one or two spots where his critics did seem to catch Moore tampering with the truth, one could not believe a single thing the film said about anything; that in fact, the opposite was therefore probably true. There is such a thing as a film or book that has so many errors or deceptions that you can write the whole thing off as worthless as a source of information. But I don't think Moore got anywhere near that level and even if he had…well, if I caught you coming up with phony proof the world was round, that would not prove the world was flat.

Anyway, I'm not suggesting you watch it; just letting you know it's there if you never wanted to give Michael Moore a nickel but wouldn't mind watching a little for free.
