Depends on the story. I would place Moore's story telling with the
"young buck buying steak with food stamps story." There was a
documentary at the South by Southwest film festival (I think I got the
name right) in Austin, by self-proclaimed leftists, on Moore. One
tidbit about his technique is that he did get an interview of the
"Roger" in Roger and me. It didn't fit his film, so he didn't include
it.

Simple true stories that go to the heart of the matter, do. Polemic
films, like birth of a nation, don't.

i like moore's story telling, except for the way he ambushed charleton
heston at home.
i do agree ther is a lot of abuse in the entitlement system and the
republicans are right that reform is urgently needed, but in a way that
doesn't punish those who need and deserve subsidies.
