This is just really not how a documentary is made....

The whole point of this documentary is to make Michael Moore look bad. And they can`t provide any evidence. I love the idea of making a documentary about Michael Moore in "Michael Moore-Style" But the differnce is that when Michael Moore have a point and says it, he always show a clip that "prooves" his point. I don`t say that I agrees with everything he says or that the point is the "truth", but in this movie they say a point or their opinion they do not back it up with any evidence.

They ambushed Moore in a pres conferance and ask him a complety stupid ans whiny question: "Why do you not give us an interview". He was holding a pres conferance about voting.... And then they show his answer, he was polite and said why he didn`t have time for their stupid movie and were kind enough to ask them to respect that he had a bigger agenda at this time... They later on actually got a 20 MINUTES long interview when he were at work. This is just a really bad movie.

Every criticism you're bleating about here are perfect examples of the way Moore fabricates his propaganda, but don't apply much to this doc.

In other words, you're a brainless hypocrite desperately grasping for straws.

Parts of it were completely shambolic. The most laughable bit was the "smoking gun" that confirmed his jerk status when he was being interviewed about his movie Canadian Bacon. He's doing promotion for his movie but yet he's expected to agree with a guy attempting to trash it? And then when he tries to break the tension with a joke, apparently that's his attempt to get in the interviewer's good books in order to shield his true manipulative nature... Some interesting points in the film but it did itself a disservice with petty bs like that.
