he presented them in the same decieving way that alot of the people he's arguing against use.
i'm for micheal moore because i think his views are good. his movie didn't show me anything new. in fact it showed me that there are more people out there who see things the way i do.
what upsets me is how he presented his views in the movie.
i hope tho that this childish attack on his website will get him to change his tactics. so he's not just the same person as the people he's fighting, just with opposite views. |
This is exactly how I feel. Couldn't have said it better. He has some incredibly interesting and shocking points to be made, but yet the way he makes these points truly reveals his weaknesses in his arguments. Instead of touting himself to be such an incredibly left-winged radical liberal, he should make a much better attempt to approach his audience with a more central or unbiased approach. Though that's somewhat difficult in these times - anyone who disagrees with Bush's policies are branded as "unAmerican", or "unpatriotic".
What I have appreciated from Moore's website is the links to other websites that shed a little more light on the way our government ticks, as well as our conservative-controlled media (which is a complete joke of coverage). It's nice to read both sides of issues. Before coming onto Moore's website I was reading O'Reilly's "No Spin Zone" and Goldberg's "Bias". Now I'm currently reading Greg Palast's "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy", and Alterman's "What Liberal Media?". Some pretty interesting sh$t. I will continue to read from both sides of the aisle, but from my standpoint I'm beginning to shift a little more towards the left. I feel sorry for the ignorant who choose not to see both sides of the story and decide for themselves, but rather be pursuaded by the government and/or media make decisions for them.
