The same reason right-leaning political commentators can make up information and pass it as "news" on the Fox Network...because there's an audience for it.

Michael Moore does not promote anything as fact. He does offer his opinions, which is allowable as freedom of expression. Al Gore pesents sketchy "facts" and is allowed to do so for the same reason. Anyone may express anything in any way, within reasonably decency limits.

Why is Kansas allowed to put factually incorrect information in their textbook. Or that one dude allowed to put factually false information into the minds of the student of Liberty University. Or the KKK allowed to put factually false information in their Pamplet. And they all promote them as fact too. There is something this nation is founded upon, and that is, good sir or madam, freedom of Speech.

Michael Moore is a big a propagandist for the left as Rush Limbaugh is for the right. In spite of the fact that we keep using the word reality in our mass media, its perception that rules the roost. We get all of our news and information in 30 second soundbites from biased reporters, including Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh. Learn to tell the difference between news and entertainment. Read something. Hell, read everything!

He may feel he has to embellish and sensationalize the documentaires in order for them to be successful and draw a large audience.
It may also be in part on account of to the dues he is expected to pay back to the System which empowers him, in the form of damages, in exchange for his apparent benefits.
You might want to click onto some of the recent questions I have posted about Michael Moore. I do not think that he is necessarily a bad person. I think some of his intentitions might be good, but he comes over as pig-headed and as someone who needs to know a lot more about socialism and socialized programs, who tends to run them, and what they are too often misued for.

Because there is still a little bit of freedom in the US. Nonetheless the US government gave him a hard time to enter Cuba to make that segment of Sicko,His movies are factually correct because he documents everything on camera. This makes Bush and the insurance companies very unhappy. Thank God for Michael Moore. Hopefully his work will bring about important needed changes

No worse than the false information from Rush, Ann, Sean, Bill and rest of the far right. Does the first amendment only apply to far right?

He does not. He`s just talking advantage of freedom of press/media in your country. He never states that he`s movies/books reflects the absolute truth, he`s just offering his vision. He`s controversial though & loves controversy.
