On the topic of Michael more and being blue collar, I'd like to quote some very insightful words written by Kevin Smith for the movie Clerks.

I believe this is very true. Michael Moore was a blue collar guy before he was rich. Why should he change now that he has money.
I still like Bowling for Columbine even though he does mess around with details and edits the crap out of some things, there's a lot of truth to what he has to say...usually.
Strangler, I know you hate the guy but Michael Moore does have a lot of good things to say. I started reading one of his books, "Dude, Where's My Country" and he seems to have a lot of good questions to ask as well. I didn't read past the first couple chapters considering that everything after those chapters is opinion based. He does source everything he writes and points out a lot of things that made me go, "what the crap!" (directed at the actions of the government around the time of 9/11).
I don't agree with his lying but you all seem to go along with one of the biggest forms of media that leaves out the truth. The news. Mainly CNN. All you guys are seeing is the American spin on everything in Iraq. Thy leave almost everything out that would make the american troops look bad. The news is supposed to portray what's happening in our world but it's failing to do so recently. I see more of what's happening because I have a lot of news sources (including Al Jazeera, BBC, CBC and a couple of rogue websites that take sources from all over). Why is nobody getting pissed off at the news. I'm pissed off at the news. Hundreds of civilians are being shot needlessly over there. Where's the coverage on that? You don't see it. Instead you see the footage of the soldiers giving food packages to Iraqis that plays all day long.
There's something wrong when a news station is biased. Then you really aren't getting the truth. Maybe you guys should care about that instead of some fat guy who has an opinion about something.
