Personally, I am so sick of hearing from Michael Moore. He is right on somethings like health care (needs to be better in the US) but other things he isn't so "honest" about.
I felt bad for Woof the other night and I felt bad for Dr. Grupta tonight. When Dr Grupta tried to present points Moore literally pouted. And for a few seconds refused to say anything. Personally, that isn't how you "win" in a debate, pout that your not being heard.
Frankly, I believe CNN over Moore any day. He just seems so one sided and it's hard to take him at his word when he does the exact same stuff that he says the US (or Bush) do. *shrugs*
Whats your opinion? I am interested. I respect the fact if you do feel differently. =)

I don't admire people for "speaking their minds" anyone can speak their mind. I only admire those who speak their minds well. if you can't express yourself and your ideas well then it is pointless to speak them at all because no one is going to give a crap. frankly its all about your delivery. to me anyways.

i think Moore is a bullying, up his own butt idiot. the worse thing about him is that he could be so good. he manages to turn his thought provoking, largely true crusades into petulant bullying. like "bowling for columbine". great idea. so why did he bully charlton heston the way he did? it was awful, to see that smug fool blag his way in to hestons house, and exploit hestons kindness and good nature and turn it into an anti gun law agenda. moore had the moral high ground right up to then.

Moore needs publicity like a junkie needs the next fix.
Sure, he offers some good talking points, but essentially, it is all a dog-and-pony show designed to bring him more attention.
Fact is, MM plays fast and loose with facts.
In the making of his movie, Moore took his cameras to Cuba but, alas, failed to mention that, according to The World Health Organization, the health system in the USA is better than in Fidel's socialist paradise. I'm sure Moore's oversight was accidental.
The same pattern repeats itself in his other movies.
Since the American public usually accepts what it sees without questioning it, perceptions easily become the new reality...and don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!

The USA ranked number #53 on a free press list. I think Moore had valid claims against CNN and all the news outlets in this country. So much information is not given to us and is one-sided. I think he was calling them out on issues. He can be very obnoxious, but at least he's truly speaking his mind. Gotta admire that.
Edited because you edited yours: I think Michael Moore speaks his mind pretty well, especially if he can take the time to make films. It sounds you just want people to agree with you and have shrouded your opinion in a question. The Daily Show and Colbert Report have criticized the US Media for years now, and Moore is asking the tough questions that no one wants to own up to.

He went nuts. He starts off going off on Wolf Blitzer, and how Sanjay Gupta is making stuff up. It became wonderful, this guy is getting crazier and crazier by ability of the day. We saved talking approximately why Sanjay Gupta did no longer get up against the conflict. Come on Sanjay Gupta is a neurosurgeon no longer a political analyst. which would be like me asking Michael Moore nutrients plan suggestion. i don't be attentive to why Wolf did no longer purely tell him to close the "F" up, and swap him off. that would've cool, yet i think this is approximately rankings, each and every physique loves a sturdy practice smash. i won't be able to attend to work out section 2 this night.

Looks like he lost some weight now if he can't grow a real beard I wish he would at least shave .Seemed like the good Dr. Gupta was one of Mike Moore's best friends with his endorsment , I wonder whether Mike Moore would do the same for the Dr.'s Life Extention search for biological immortality.
peace

i do not trust cnn. the ownership is at least as corrupt as murdoch and the new wave of corrupt, propoganda merchandisers from you know where. michael moore is a godsend. an angel who is trying to help us understand the depth of corruption of the news industry worldwide. they cannot be relied on for anything but advertising and more of it. the news is useless because it is partly true. you can never tell. it is biased and unreliable. moore may make a mistake but he aint lying. he really believes in his cause and so do i. retired journalist but still in touch.

CNN is, as MM says, full of crap. Nice to hear it laid out so succinctly.
