If the video doesn't load immediately, type
"Michael Moore debates Gupta on CNN" on the search bar to the right of the page

Tisk Tisk - it's sad that when someone finally reports the truth (based on substantial information), and just because it wasn't reported on CNN or some other media organization, it seems exaggerated to the American Public.

Answer 1

Michael Moore has many good points in his political arguments. Health care should be available to everyone regardless of socioeconomic status. The guys just trying to point out whats wrong with America. Someone should and who is saying that hes just telling people whatever and that he doesnt have his facts straight and just rambling isnt true. He has his facts. He picks the best to highlight the bad and appeal on an emotional level.
Saying hes fat is ridiculous. Its a weak argument when you consider how many fat people are there in America anyway.

Answer 2

This isn't going well for Moore. And I like the guy.

This isn't a documentary. His research is sloppy. When you're going after institutions like the insurance industry, you have to get things right. Broad accusations will just evaporate when the interest goes away.

I would not support universal health care based on his arguments. I'm sure there are more intelligent facts and figures than the ones he debated on Larry King tonight.

Answer 3

I am not at all interested in hearing more about what Michael Moore has to say because most of the time it seems like he is on a rant. I'll get my information elsewhere.

Answer 4

I don't agree with every single thing Moore says... but I sure don't disagree either. He is right on a lot of things.. and it would not hurt for all of us to ask more questions and expect more from our governing body and not just accept it when the president tells us we live in the greatest country on earth with the best of everything.

Travel a bit.. we are lucky but we are not alone.

Answer 5

I just saw it (on Larry King and on MSNBC). Though he wasn't able to really respond to Sanjay Gupta's argument (live) on Larry King's show.

Instead of proper (or even passionate) argument, Moore's responses turned into confused whining. Too bad ... because he could have done better.

Answer 6

if there is a real problem you dont have to fabricate and once you fabricate you lose you credibility. the bad part is the subjects he covers have merit on their own, but if he told it just like it was people wouldnt buy ticket to his movies and pay for his big house and even biger food bill. he claim to do documentries but they are not becuase they wouldnt make money

Answer 7

In each of Moore's endeavors he has brought up some good points.
He has also done alot of quoting people out of context, or abridging the quotes and misrepresenting peoples points.

He is not at all completely honest in his endeavors and he seems to freak out when people point that out.

Answer 8

What a moron. Always having a hormonal attack. Too much estrogen.

While sometimes he highlights some interesting issues, he needs to get his facts straight. Always biased and hardly objective ... what kind of journalism is that?

Answer 9

Moore has completely lost it... I hear Sicko is doing tepid box office so he's probably frowning about the millions lost.

Answer 10

Michael Moore is very good at what he does - unfortunately, making documentaries is not what he does.
He is simply a master at deception.
