why are there so much haters against Michael Moore?

Question

He's just telling it like it is, and if you're saying he's biased that's dumb. He'll tell his movie however he wants to, u don't have to go see it, he's just showing all the overwhelming cons there are in American healthcare and all the amazing pros in other countries, QUIT HATIN' PEOPLE, it's getting old, just because he's fat and rich. PLUS DID YOU SEE THAT GUARDIAN ANGEL THING, wow now that's a man right there

Answer 1

Michael dispenses a brand of truth that offends a lot of people. He relates his viewpoint by using ordinary people and telling their stories. I just saw sicko. As I watched it I wondered how anyone could dispute the obvious truth of it.

Our medical system is corrupt, and a lot of other countries have solved the problem in a humane way while we remain stuck in the adoration of corporate profit that makes ussomething of an international laughing stock.

I think so many americans can't stand the concept that there is some real criticism deserved for our sold out system. It's like Bush worship; once you've committed yourself to admiring something so obviously lame, it's hard to say, 'maybe I'm wrong.'

As far as I'm concerned, Moore is a hero, and the people that squirm under his lens deserve the scrutiny they are getting.

Answer 2

Michael Moore tells things as "he" sees them. He is not a journalist, and thus his documentaries/films are not objective but rather tell the story he prefers to tell. He is an adult and quite adept at what he does, but that doesn't mean his point of view is not biased.

That said, I don't like the hate mongers who cannot have a rational discussion of important issues of the day.

In the USA, everyone is entitled to his/her point of view. I would wish people would do that with a little more civility, but I was once an elected politician and am more of a realist in this area.

Answer 3

People always hate to find out that they've put the wrong idiot in office, and the American people have lied to themselves for 8 years now that electing Bush was a good thing. Wrong answer, and Michael Moore puts that in their faces. In spite of all the lies Bush has told, people would rather pick on Michael Moore than to admit they made a mistake.

Answer 4

I don't hate him, I just don't agree with some of his views. I have to say that the movie Sicko is a brilliant idea. I have not seen it yet, but I think it is about time that someone told the world about the horrible health care and insurance systems that we have here in the US.

Answer 5

the new movie that is coming out, he is just telling it out it really is. he's not taking any sides. no i didnt see the guardian angel thing. but i agree in the fact that people need to stop hating on him because he is the only one with some guts....good question

Answer 6

Because there are a lot of super, ultra conservative right wing people out there who can argue but don't have anything to back themselves up and they get support anyway. They don't like that Michael Moore always goes out of his way to back up is point.

Answer 7

Hello??? Free health care isn't free...just ask the people of France who pay outrageous taxes for theirs His whole Sicko movie is full of fabrications and misguided info. We have the best health care system in the world...that's a fact. He wouldn't be hated if his info. was factual.

Answer 8

how is calling Mr Moore out on his obvious deceptions being a "hater"??

He can do great good if he'll only be objective, which is the mark of a TRUE journalist..

Answer 9

The truth hurts, people prefer to beleive lies... it's alot easier to swallow. Sicko was excellent, almost as good as Far911

Answer 10

I think he is great and sheds some light on important issues. I hope he keeps making his great movies!
