After reading through some of the answers, I am somewhat surprised that Michael is viewed by some as a true journalist. I have never attacked the messenger as implied in some of the answers - it is his one-sided, obviously biased op-eds that I criticize.
Michael is very good at what he does, however, making documentaries is not what he does. As far as proof of this, ask yourself why, in his glowing report of the medical care in Cuba, he failed to mention that when Fidel was ill, they imported a doctor from Spain to care for him, or why there is such a large Cuban population in the south east, or why the Cubans keep coming to our shores in just about anything that floats.
Remember, a true documentary presents ALL of the facts and BOTH sides of an issue - not just the writer's bias and opinion.

You stop being mean to my Beloved Micheal Moore! I love him! He is the smartest person in the whole world and we should do everything he says! Just ask him and he'll tell you I'm right! I wish he was King of America so in His infinite wisdom he could tell me how I should live my life every day! Then I wouldn't have to wait till he releases a new movie to know what to think and what opinions to have! I want to have his fat, sweaty babies!

He has. Shall we shoot the messenger some more? The complaints about Moore are the same as those about Al Gore, and as lame an effort to shift the issue from the message to the medium as we can expect from partisan propagandists.
Let the religious fascists and neoMcCarthyites make a few counterdocumentaries then. They have all the facilities of FOX to rely on, and truly unbiased spokespeople like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter to front for them. How many Americans would pay to sit in a theatre and listen to their version of the truth?
If the market decides everything, bring it on!
Of course Moore and Gore both have made errors. Name one documentary maker who hasn't. They have, however, delivered a message to their viewers that is not being countered with anything more than character attacks.
What about the messages? Does the Emperor have clothes after all? Of Moore in particular is a liar, why haven't his targets sued? They can afford lawyers.

Maybe you should get some of your own money together and make a "real" documentary about Iraq and health care. Unless, you're less of a man than Michael is and are afraid to try it.

Never.....that would require gathering all information from both sides of a topic, presenting it in a fair manner, and giving facts and information rather than telling a fictional story. Besides, he knows he can make millions off of his minions by just telling half-truths.

About the same time he takes on the fast food industry.

very funny. Which part of his last doc wasn't real?
And the ones before that?
I challenge you to answer that question backed up with FACTS. And then we'll talk.

He won't. There's no money in legitimate documentaries.
