FEATURED COLUMN ======================== Viewer beware (11/19) In "Bowling for Columbine," Michael Moore once again puts distortions and contradictions before the truth By Ben Fritz Michael Moore insists he wants to be taken seriously. Yet the claims in his hit documentary "Bowling for Columbine" turn out to be frequently inaccurate, contradictory and confused. At one point in the film, Moore apparently even alters a Bush-Quayle campaign ad, changing history to make a point. Like many of the political celebrities increasingly filling our TV screens and bookstores, he is entertaining, explicitly partisan, and all too willing to twist facts to promote himself and his vision of the truth. http://www.spinsanity.org/columns/20021119.html FEATURED POST ======================== The Pelosi barrage (11/16) By Ben Fritz The Democrats elected a new leader this week, choosing Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, as minority leader in the House of Representatives. In the world of pundits, of course, a new political figure means only one thing: a new round of fierce jargon attacks. http://www.spinsanity.org/post.html?2002_11_10_archive.html#85681437 RECENT POSTS AT http://www.spinsanity.org ============================================= --- Spinning Iraq inspectors' departure (11/18) --- They weren't kicked out -- but that's not the whole story. --- WSJ whitewashes attacks on Cleland (11/18) --- Failing to present the truth about the disreputable tactics of Saxby Chambliss. --- Keillor smears Coleman (11/14) --- Nasty innuendo from the author and radio host. --- Liberal commentators refine post-election attacks (11/13) --- Dire claims about what will happen when Republicans take control of Congress. --- Card revives the trifecta (11/12) --- Bush's discredited claim is revived by his chief of staff.
