I think there is our difference of opinion. You believe that what Moore offers the public is fact, while I belive it is film so edited and distorted as to make it fiction. He in fact claims that all his films are the representation of truth, because there are not actors (other than Moore) and no sets. He dups real people into interviews, or takes real footage and then edits it into the story he wants to tell. Not reality. So, a low budget mockumentary.
Other people think it is a Mockumentary too.

Quote:Michael Moore, smear specialist-- It was awarded the status of top news, the front page of The New York Times. Disney was telling its Miramax subsidiary that it could not distribute radical, Bush-loathing Michael Moore's new "mockumentary," titled "Fahrenheit 9-11." This report, like virtually all the news accounts surrounding Moore's upcoming film, seem to glide right around Moore's very obvious hatred of conservatives and his very checkered history of cinematic fact-mangling.Brent Bozell -- townhall.com Yes. Before you flay me, he is a conservative so you can't believe a word he says, right?
The first act of fact-mangling on this film may be this story of Disney censorship. In paragraph six of the Times story, we were given a Disney spokesman declaring they "advised both the agent and Miramax in May of 2003 that the film would not be distributed by Miramax."
