DS: I'm not sure of what you're talking about here... I take it you're trying to argue an anti-Moore point, but it seems your only condemnation is that he took a point of view that the mainstream media didn't.
I don't care what side Moore takes, just don't cry about the side the media takes, and then go ahead and do the same yourself. F9/11 is a movie that has intentional left out key facts, not for timeline purposes, but to make others look bad. Its a cheap shot movie. Its a movie he is passing off as factual. Moore himself is guilty of what he is claiming the media has done, mislead the public. Thats what bothers me. Go ahead, bash George W. Bush, I could care less. But don't do it with lies and dishonesty.
RE: Double standard... None whatsoever. First, your argument is apples and oranges. In one case, someone is asking that another person who has been hammering his work without ever even seeing it check the movie out. In the other, someone is asking someone else for an interview that's being refused. They're in no way connected in the way you're trying to argue, the way I'm reading it. In fact, their only commonalities are pissed off conservatives who aren't getting vital information. One by choice, and the other because he doesn't have the resume or credentials that would command an interview with anyone of Moore's stature.
OK, not sure what is going on in this piece, but to be clear, I have seen F9/11. Like I said before, Moore has made himself a public figure, and has gained finacially from it. Public figures are allowed to be questioned. Moore seems to have no problem bashing Republicans, yet won't step up and answer his critics. The people who aren't getting vital info, are the people who believe F9/11 to be factual and correct. And furthermore, who was Micheal Moore when he made Roger & Me? Someone with a weak resume and credentials? If not Micheal Wilson, they why not someone else? Moore made a point that he does not appear in other peoples movies, yet a quick check proves that to be a lie. Its one thing to avoid Wilson, but to mock him along the way, just shows the true character of Micheal Moore.
(But, as I said before, Moore should placate the little douchebag in my view. Just don't answer any of his questions and use the interview as an opportunity to just rant. From what I saw on the Daily Show, the guy wouldn't have the talent to cut together something damaging out of a well spewed diatribe. )
The Daily Show purposely editted it to look that way (you know, how Moore does the same). I'm sure if someone followed Moore around when he was making his movies, and then cut together pieces to give a different view, Moore would look foolish as well.
This is my whole point, Moore expects everyone to answer his questions, and be in his movies, yet won't do the same for another filmmaker. Why?All as I want is for Moore to answer why he, and I am assuming here, left out so many pieces of information, and purposely mislead the people who paid to see his movie
