Mr. Moore is, of course, correct, by definition. Every "fact" in the film is true, 
else they wouldn't be facts. The problem is that a lot of the purported facts aren't 
facts. I'm not sure it's libel to say a fact is not a fact, just illogical.

Subject: Moore alters "Bowling" DVD in response to criticism


Moore alters "Bowling" DVD in response to criticism (9/2)
By Brendan Nyhan

http://shorterlink.com/?U6JTWO


In the newly-released DVD version of his Academy Award-winning documentary
"Bowling for Columbine," filmmaker Michael Moore has altered a caption that he
inserted into a 1988 Bush-Quayle campaign commercial -- one of a number of
misstatements and deceptive arguments we criticized when the film was released
last year. Ironically, on the same day the DVD was released, Moore issued a libel
threat against his critics on MSNBC's "Buchanan & Press," saying, "Every fact
in the film is true. Absolutely every fact in the film is true. And anybody
who says otherwise is committing an act of libel."
