Fri Jul 30, 5:36 PM ET
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Filmmaker Michael Moore's Bush-basing documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" apparently has upset more than Republicans.
Reuters
Slideshow: Michael Moore
The (Bloomington) Pantagraph newspaper in central Illinois has sent a letter to Moore and his production company, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., asking Moore to apologize for using what the newspaper says was a doctored front page in the film, the paper reported Friday. It also is seeking compensatory damages of $1.
A scene early in the movie that shows newspaper headlines related to the legally contested presidential election of 2000 included a shot of The Pantagraph's Dec. 19, 2001, front page, with the prominent headline: "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election."
The paper says that headline never appeared on that day. It appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition, but the headline was not used on the front page. Instead, it was found in much smaller type above a letter to the editor, which the paper says reflects "only the opinions of the letter writer."
"If (Moore) wants to 'edit' The Pantagraph, he should apply for a copy-editing job," the paper said.
Lions Gate Entertainment did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Friday.

that page isn't "fake" though. it's just a manipulation of the truth.
i'll wait for the Moore follower(s) to come in and say why that isn't a fake page. |

Read it and weep: conclusive proof that Michael Moore is a lying scumbag. You will not convince me otherwise unless you respond to each and every of the 59 points, only 1 of which did Moore have a good response to. |

The Dave Kopel piece responds to every one of the lame defenses brought up on Moore's pages. If you bother to read through it, maybe you'll be convinced.
Kopel is no member of the VRWC....he's a Naderite. He just goes about his politics honestly, unlike Moore and his supporters.
Dislike Bush or not, but don't assosciate and defend such a dishonest, dispicable person. It merely discredits your cause. |

Should I quote your own source in saying that sure he was deceitful- now you're calling him a liar? :conf: |

Oh my God!!! I just can't stop weeping!!! My once favorite ultra left winger, shot down by this ultra fanatical "loaded-guns-are-good-for-children" right winger! What am I to do?!?!?!
Well, I guess I could just throw back another website in child-like fashion, refuting Kopel's cute little tit-for-tat points:

Ain't it fun to trade websites and not talk about content? |
