This is one of the best documentaries on a false prophet. It was amazing how Moore is such a contradiction of everything he claims to stand for. While he shoves his camera in everyones face his organiazion wants to stop anyone from taping him. I believe the maker of "Manufacturing Dissent" went into this project on Moores side. They have a history of standing for liberal causes and are from Canada. Moore proves over and over what a phony he is.
What I don't understand is why he needs to lie and make up false stories in his documentaries. He is covering important subject that don't need *beep* added to it. It is amazing the size of his ego!!!!

Michael Moore IS a hypercritical liberal big mouth.

But, being that he IS an American, he does have the right to his own opinion.

Right or wrong (dependning on your own opinions), his voice of anger is OK with me.

BTW... I am a Conservative (Republican, if you will), and I do enjoy his films.

"I believe the maker[s] of "Manufacturing Dissent" went into this project on Moore[']s side. "

Not true. One of the first people Rick Caine and Debbie Melnyk approached to help make this film was Jim Kenefick of Moore Watch. Several other critics of Michael Moore were immediately sought for guidance. Oddly, they never once wrote to Moore to ask if they could follow him around all Summer with a camera, asking detailed questions, which is the first thing one would do if you were truly hoping to make an insightful biography. In other words, they claimed to be Moore supporters, but the first people they consulted were detractors. Did they honestly believe Moore was going to fall into their trap? He was well warned in advance. And of course the film makes more errors than all of Moore's output combined.
