Michael Moore's piece was filled with just as much propaganda intended to sway public opinion during a vote as is the 9/11 series under so much scrutiny today. How do those on the left making such a fuss about this series not see the hypocrisy?

Because this recent piece makes their side look bad, and Moore's film made the other side look bad.

That's 59 - count 'em, fifty-nine - times Moore either lies, misrepresents, or distorts your precious "truth" in that film. Enjoy!

Here's an important difference. Michael Moore called his a documentary even though it was more of a contrived opinion piece. He said, essentially, this is the truth.
Not sure I'd call the Path to 911 propeganda. It was a docudrama with no real politcal motivation. I really don't think they thought about anything but ratings.
The Path to 911 was never advertised as a documentary. The disclaimer clearly indicated that there were compound characters and some scenes were fiction.
So, yes there is a liberals hypocrisy here.
However, remember it was conservatives who were so upset over the Reagen movie.

Because it does make them look bad. Sure Moore can "prove" his propaganda films if he goes back and gets the entire video or film and doesn't edit it for his own views and political purposes. How anyone can claim that Michael Moore is a journalist is really funny! Even Dan Rather wouldn't use Moore tactics! The docu-drama "The Path to 9/11" has more truth in it than Michael Moore has ever told in his lifetime, let alone his propaganda film.
I'm old enough to remember Reagan. I never heard them EVER introduced like that and I don't remember any "documentary." Of course 9/11 and a Reagan thing are a bit different.

Marshmello,
Fahrenheit 9/11 was not a "made for television Mocu-Drama" like the Path to 911 was.
Have you ever done research on exactly -WHO- the person is who wrote the Path to 9/11?
Check out the bio of Cyrus Nowradesh (author) and main producer, David Cunningham --- and you'll understand why they forked out so much money to submit propaganda to the airwaves.
Did you just see former Secretary of Defense, a Republican, William Cohen on CNN discussing the MocuDrama with Wolf Blitzer approximately 30 minutes ago?
Cohen is **LIVID** that it was aired and believes the production was complete and utter nonsense.
William H. Cohen of all people should know - shouldn't he?
Again --- Fahrenheit 9/11 (which btw, no one has ever been able to prove inaccuracies and cash in on Moore's massive cash offer to show him any) ...
...... was not a "made for television" event.

You're probably not old enough to remember how up set the right got when CBS was going to run a mini series about reagan. It showed how Nancy wore the pants in that family. That's why the reagans were often introduced as "The President and Mr. Reagan"!The right whined, cried, pouted & threatened until CBS gave in.So I would say it's the republicans that are the real hypocrites. Remember FACTS ARE LIKE KRYPTONITE TO REPUBLICANS!!!

Michael Moore could be a poster child for the democratic party. He is a fat little has been, damn, much like Ted Kennedy.

I don't. One is just as bad as the other. I didn't see either because it is propaganda and exploits the people who were killed, so don't put everyone who do not support Republicans as left and in the same boat...

Moore's movie wasn't broadcast for free on network TV in prime time, with a Presidential address in the middle of it.
