So, in other words there was nothing in the movie really worth seeing.
You didn't get any greater understanding regarding matters regarding 911. You didn't get any understanding of President Bush. You got no greater understanding of countries we are in a war with.

So Moore claim to Wolf Blitzer that he got it right regarding 911 movie is completely wrong.
Not that Wolf Blitzer or CNN got it right or for that matter generally have any brains whatever. Though CNN did eventually admit that Saddam Hussien was using "minders" and that dictator would deny them access to Iraq if they published anything he didn't like. Not to mention the threat to lives of those CNN had contact with in Iraq.

E.g. "TERENCE SMITH: CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan became part of the news himself in recent days when he revealed that he withheld information about how Saddam Hussein's regime had intimidated and tortured Iraqis who had helped the Cable News Network over the years. Jordan made his comments in an op-ed piece in the New York Times last week, two days after the fall of Baghdad. He revealed on his own network Thursday night that other CNN staffers were targeted by the Iraqi government, in particular by Saddam Hussein's information minister."
