I've never really respected Michael Moore....

Until now. Seriously, you have to watch the video. It's great. It's a little long but so worth it. CNN gets ripped a new one.

I didn't think Michael Moore could get even more annoying. I was wrong. Watching that made me want to vomit.

He needs to die in a fire.
Suck it, Pugnate.

Well, I've never liked the guy either, but what he was saying is dead on. Also, he did post the CNN "facts" on his site and debunk them.

I fucking hate him, and it isn't even strictly a political thing.  I have no love for CNN either, but I think Moore is a fat, lying scumbag who should... well, die in a fire.

I don't really like him that much, but overall, even with his mild "alterations" of facts and one sided journalism, I do think his movies and motives are good. At least it highlights some of the problems in the states and makes people ask questions and possible act on it.

Blah blah Michael Moore is fat blah blah Michael Moore slants the truth blah blah I'm incapable of seeing through minor flaws in his work to see the overarching message that he is one of the only people in the world trying to bitchslap America out of its collective stupor.

Bravo for calling CNN on their crap. 24 hour news stations are the fucking antichrist. Wolf Blitzer, Nancy Grace, Bill O'Riley, and yes, even Keith Olbermann are all a bunch of blowhard dickheads that couldn't find responsible journalism if it were 10" up their ass in the form of a giant black dildo.

This is why I no longer own a TV; "freedom of the press" is just a giant facade used to fill our brains with fear and distraction while ignoring the major issues in a fair and balanced way... Now we're not talking Faux News "fair and balanced," the fact that they can even claim they are fair and balanced is such an affront on journalistic integrity that they should be forcibly shut down by the government for polluting the minds of your citizens.

Fuck

Geez.  Ace makes Que seem like a mellow guy.

Michael Moore's motives may be just, but his methods are not.  Slanting the truth is not the way to go about what he wants to do.

Kams and I disagree almost entirely when it comes to politics, and yes, his anger knows no bounds, however I don't really disagree with him here.  I think 90% of all "news" is a load of crap, Fox News or CNN or whoever.  Probably for different reasons than he does, but... yeah.  I think we can all agree that absolutely nothing we see these days is actually fair or balanced in any manner whatsoever.

But that doesn't make Moore not a piece of shit.

Lou Dobbs is a fucking idiot. And the whole clip just shows how shitty CNN is.

Exactly why I don't watch or read the news and I don't get into politics. Everyone slants the truth, twists facts, and flat out lies to ge their point across or get what they want. There's no way to tell who's honest either, so it's just not worth my time. The war in Iraq for example. I have no opinion on it, because I don't know what the damn truth is, and I refuse to sift through all the bullshit to figure it out.
