re: Not funny at all
This is very interesting. The documentation I'm talking about addressed specific points in Moore's films, referenced a variety of external sources for the true information, and described the exact ways in which Moore misled his audience.
It was nothing that any reporter or reviewer could not have done at any time. But most didn't bother. Moore's lies were more useful than the truth.
To believe something is true solely because it's what you want to hear, and to believe that a reasoned and documented analysis of it is all lies because it isn't what you want to hear, is a way of looking at reality that I can't get my head around.
