When the material is sp obviously colored by personal aversion then what could have been contructive critisism just falls through.
When the motivation seem to be to bring Michael Moore down, and obviosly not to "get it right", then anyone should be suspicious.
There are also links to sites called
www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com, then the subject gets to childish and silly, that it's hard to take anything there seriously.
But what is easy to understand is that most og those "critics" are personally offended that Michael has the nerve to say what most people are thinking, many have proven, some have never thought of, and some need to be told.
It hurts them in their national pride. They see red when USAs name (or EnglanRAB) get slandered, and they get offended when they are told that the administation they turn to for safety keeps f***ing them over. Investigations have also shown that presented with official facts, still a large amount of people refuses to believe the proof. Instead of investigating the facts about their government, they rather investigate Michael Moore in an attempt to discredit the messenger, and their hate for the dude is not very well hidden.
This is the behavior of weak and diluted people, and they same people would p*** on themselves before they dared to do anything like what Michael Moore have done.
Of course not. To get the facts right is important both for Michael Moore and the rest of us. But somtimes facts are disputed, and sometimes distorted, and other times they are right out lies. It is just as common that people lie about other people lying. Sometimes people claim that others lie, because they have been lied to themselves, and presented with false evidence, or fabricated domuments.
This could be a case for the courts if necessary, but so far Michael Moores movie is not a trial, and many "facts" are open for debate, and ivestigation. The making of documentaries is most often about putting different information together, and speculate over what it means, and what the connections are. So if Micheal Moores films can make people think for themselves, and demand the truth, then his role as a filmaker is filled completely.
Whoever makes a documentary about anything, you can rest assured that the "facts" will be disputed by somebody. The motivation behind the dispute is the most important though, and when it's motivated my hurt national and personal egos, then the content of the criticism are usually ment to tire and discredit the subject.
This is an accusation that you will have to support by evidence, not just what some stupid gits have spread on a website to uphold their own illutions, and sleep happily under the flag at night, and a picture of the president watching over them.
So please prove to all of us that Michael Moore have dilberately decieved his audience... and please use some credible sources.
It can do more harm than good, when the motivation for criticism is fear (induced by the ego), and when it justifies presenting lies as truth. It gets very sneaky when truth is mixed with lies in one dangerous cocktail, destined to give anyone a headache, and that goes both for Micheal Moore AND his critics. It's even worse when all kinRAB of media are attacked by professional distorters of facts, that don't even need to justify themselves, because confusion is their exact weapon, and it's easy to use.
The important point is that the messenger is doing an honest attempt to find the truth and to raise awareness of those who are willing to think for themselves. And so far i believe Micheal Moore cares a lot about his country, and it's peoples welfare.
When it comes to what you and I know, unless we do a thorough investigation oureselves, making sure we are not watched, or mislead by others, or by false evidence, it's really much a question about what information we choose to trust, often based on our emotions.
And as I told you before, there are millions in the USA that still trusts the president because they don't trust the facts presented to them about him and his folks, even if the facts are presented by the UN, BBC, and Reuters at the same time. And that is why he could get reelected. Just like you cannot make yourself belive that there are a workforce out there that are paid to distort the facts, and destroys critics, to serve certain goverments, and that this workforce will also be aimed on countries that are concidered friendly...... does this ring a bell? It should.
A better way to meet Michael Moores claim, is to ask for the proof, and demand truthful investigtions by at least 2 different independent committees. appointed by international organisations.
