    He is a a Money-making-machina!

    This guy knows that liberals will watch his movie JUST because republicans hate it.

    Personally i think hes smart, extremely biased, but hes on my side so it doesnt bother me. He also puts everything in a light to make u rethink ur values.

    Micheal Moore is a really smart and talented guy.

    Plus its nice to have a liberal media for once...

    The one thing that interested me most at the theatres when seeing his newest flick is the diversity of everyone there. I expected it to be mostly my demographic; young kids, punks and such especiall. But there was a lot of age/race/lifestyle diversity in the theatre and I found it very interesting.

    yeah same here, it was a very diverse crowd when i saw it, from punks, to arabs fed up with bush, to old men, to jsut normal college kids.


    personally, i like him. yeah, he is biased but so am i. i agree with the mans point of view. often times it is painfully obvious when he is twisting the truth. i dont need michael moore to tell me bush sucks, george bush kinda went about telling me that himself. also, i dont think anybody goes to see this movie because republicans hate it. i know i didnt. ahhh, i cant remember where i am going with this so i'll jsut end it here.

    If you happen to be J. Dzhugashvili.


    Looking it from a reasonable point of view, American media is right-wing nuttery.

    I'd bet a year's salary that all of you would be having a fit right now if Michael Moore didn't share your views.

    Well, at least you admit that you're biased.

    I'm biased for the truth, I'm biased for justice. I'm biased for beauty, and love, and freedom for all! And that's why I'm biased.

    Both genious and bastard. OK; I like him, I like his movies, but crap, I don't consider them documentaries. I consider them opinions. Sometimes he gets sensationalistic, sometimes he exagerates things, sometimes he deserves to be shot on the face...but that's OK, because he brings up many interesting points and does a good job doubting the dogmas generally installed in society. I'd say we need more people like him, only if he wasn't rather sensationalistic and somehow egocentrical.

    But hey, he makes a great job screwing with Bush. Now, if he was less biased and a bit more serious (with this I don't mean not using irony, wich I believe to be great to express opinions, but avoiding things like exaggerating, being a drama queen, etc) I'd probably respect him greately. But hey, he can get on my nerves too, even when I agree with him.

    The movie was funny and entertaining, more so because he shares my views, for the most part.

    What I find really amusing is all the right-wing Rush-worshippers who are calling for a boycott of his "anti-American terrorist film".

    Anyways, he's biased, but his biases are like my own for the most part so I find his stuff funny.

    To note, Moore never calls his works documentaries. He calls them opinion peices. They're classified as documentaries because that's the closest thing to classify them as, movie-wise.

    And we're all biased, but I for one do read books written by the opposing, conservative view. I try to be as open-minded as possible, but I'm only human.
