Always good for a chuckle, heh?

Answer 1

It's not that he is wrong, it's that he is so abrasive that no one of authority wants to take him seriously.

Answer 2

Moore has a habit of producing 'documentaries' based on one side of the story. He has no interest in anything but his prejudiced ideas. I suppose the odds are that eventually he may, and I repeat may, get something right.

Answer 3

Yes, Michael IS wrong. He has no credibility because when he does his so-called factual documentaries he looks at a problem, decides all by himself what is causing the problem, and then goes out and gathers "evidence" that supports his position. EXAMPLES: (1) In "Roger & Me," Moore decided that the reason for the closing of all the auto plants in Michigan in the late '70's and early '80's despite reports of huge profits was the evil corporate executives. He didn't even bother to look at the energy crisis and how much the Big Three were spending on developing more fuel-efficient engines, the Japanese invasion that cut into the Big Three's market share and forced the execs to make drastic changes, and in a fit of criminal negligence he didn't dare touch the United Auto Whiners, who at the time were making on average five to six times the state minimum wage for unskilled labor and went on strike in 1979 demanding MORE money, literally a king's ransom, to do a job that a trained monkey can do. The UAW is the REAL reason you can't get a decent American car. (2) In "Bowling for Columbine," Moore decided the root of the escalating murder problem in this country is the availability of handguns. He didn't even bother to consider violence on TV and how it affects our children, the hip-hop urban gangsta culture and its effect on children in our cities and the suburbs alike, or the fact that criminals in this country are being coddled instead of punished -- no wonder so many cons commit crimes so they can get back into a Hilton with bars on the doors where they get free cable TV, free access to the Internet, and fully-outfitted weight training centers. We all know that guns can't kill people by themselves. Someone who has put himself or herself in the position of God, believing he/she has the right to decide whether another human being lives or dies, must pick up a loaded gun and point it at someone and pull the trigger in order for the gun to cause harm. Blaming the guns is like blaming food for making people fat -- we HAVE to eat in order to live, but it's those who eat more than their body needs who are overweight. (3) "Fahrenheit 9/11" was such a joke and was so fraught with misinformation and half-truths that a movie was produced to answer all the so-called "facts" of that movie.

P.S.: Did you know your liberal champion Michael Moore is now living high on the hog in the area of Traverse City, Michigan and is now schmoozing prominent Republicans? Why hasn't the liberal community called for his head on a silver platter? See how he duped you? He preyed on your ignorance, made a lot of money from the bovines that bought his line of rhetoric, and is now one of the rich elite that liberals claim to despise. Now THAT's what I call poetic justice...
