Fahrenheit 9/11

[ranedog]

I haven't seen Fahrenheit 9/11 yet, but I probably will. I think it is important for people to remember that Michael Moore's documentaries are very accusatory and biased. I'm not saying there's not some truth in the film. I'm sure there is. I'm just saying I wouldn't take it all in as absolute fact. Leave a comment

I personally think Michael Moore is a loony, extreme left-wing hypocrite, so I suppose my opinion is a bit skewed already. :-) About Bush staying in the room with the kids, he only stayed in there for like SEVEN MINUTES. I don't know why everybody thinks this is so awful and makes such a big deal out of it. What was he supposed to do, run out of the room cussing and screaming? He did cut the story-reading session with the kids short. And what difference does it make, anyway? I think that he did the right thing by not panicking in front of those kids. I saw an interview with Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff, and he vehemently agreed.

Fox News does have several conservative talk show hosts, but I think it really is the most "fair and balanced." In my opinion, Fox News comes the closest to representing an accurate picture without presenting their own agenda. If Fox News is pro-Bush and pro-Republican, then CNN is undoubetly pro-Liberal, pro-Democrat, and anti-Republican.

I don't think anybody doubts that mistakes concerning 9/11 were made by Bush and everybody else, for that matter. It was an unprecedented event that noone could have possibly been fully prepared for. I am sure that Michael Moore's facts are very much colored by his well-known opinions in Fahrenheit 9/11. I just wish that people would realize that just because things are presented from his point of view in his little documentary doesn't mean that the movie should be taken as a 100% factual account of what happened on 9/11. I find it pretty disappointing.

I'm having some issues with CNN of my own. Doug always reads the CNN sites from other countries instead because often the American one is so skewed. Everything is just glossed over and seems more of a front of what they wish America was and want to present to the rest of the world.
