Apparently there would be a lot of "fake" or at least editing arranged in his films to say what he wants in the image and which does not reflect reality 100% ...

To top it all off: the film crew got "thrown" (for filming) of a Moore lecture on ... freedom of expression ... : Cheesy:

yeah! it is a well-known psychological phenomenon: others are blamed for their own faults. What do these journalists think they wash whiter? They are furax pcq they have found their master.

Moore embarrassed and successful: very big flaw!

Having seen the last moore, I must say that we must take what he says with hindsight.
Because when we see how he talks about the French system, we can only put his words about the American system into perspective.

But anyway, even if half of what he says is true it's already terrible ...

manipulator I would not say

I would rather say that he can talk to people

the difference between these documentaries and the video clip of salsabass


you admit it yourself half word you have to talk to yourself in a certain way to change things

otherwise you get offended and instinctively turned against

so if you speak in the language you want to hear is to be manipulative
yes he is

I saw the last Sicko film on the health system, I loved it but it is clear that it is absolutely NOT objective.

He takes the testimonies that suits him he talks about the French or English health system in a very very oriented way. As if in France or UK (besides for me UK is absolutely not a reference even if it is apparently worse than the USA) we could not find absurd cases.

But still it makes you think, it's interesting, but not to be taken literally, a bit like superzise me (from another director but of the same kind).
