I've missed this entire thread but I'll put in my 2 cents. Moore's
'film' is straight up propaganda designed to manipulate the facts to
where he wants them to be. Doesn't matter that you come away not
knowing where he wants you to be. Point is, he presents things out of
context to make them seem what he wants.
He was interviewing senators and asking them to sign a petition to
send their kids to Afghanistan. One senator is shown doing a double
take and it's basically presented as if he didn't want to. Truth is
(when the full piece is shown, not in the movie) that he agreed and
said that his son WAS in Afghanistan. This was cut out as it took away
from Moore's 'point' of the elite (i.e. political people) not putting
their kids in harms way.
This is not a movie, not a documentary, it's straight up media
manipulation. But that's what Moore's been doing for a bit of time
now.

Now, if anyone wants to debate me on this, please feel free. If anyone
wants to call me an idiot, moron, or whatever, then it just proves
them unable to bring a rational argument. I think that we as a
community can debate and disagree politely.
