Strangler, Let's say he did lie about the Saudis not being screened and about the thing with the Saudi royal family being the only plane in the air.
So, you've got two lies. Put those in your back pocket and perhaps you can bring them out and throw them at us again later.
Anyways, Taek a look at everything Moore says in the movie that isn't a lie. I'm not telling you to like Moore or even respect him. But just take a look at everything in the movie that isn't a lie. There's a lot of good stuff in there.

You're missing my point too. How can you distinguish what is fact and what is fiction if you know he blatantly lies? Why do I have to go out and do fact checking on a documentarian when he should be responsible for his own rediculous movies?
You even helped prove my point. When you saw the movie, could you distinguish the reality from fantasy, or are you willing to believe it all until someone showed you what was wrong? Don't you think there's a problem with that? Don't you think there is a problem with an Acadamy Award winning documentarian lying and manipulating and yet still being seen as some great truth telling muck raker?
If one thing is a lie, and another, then another... how can you trust ANY of it?
Oh, and here's another little fact I can put in my back pocket. One of the congressmen that Moore interviewed about having relatives in the military actually answered that he had a nephew in the military and another that was going to ship overseas. Moore excluded this response from the movie, and then denied it ever happened in the interview with Stephanopolous. Well thank god George has researchers becuase they actually found the raw footage and in fact the congressman does say he has family overseas in the military. Once again, the truth hurts Michael Moore.
Zaglar Ninja, do yourself a favor a leave this thread. You're only hurting yourself.
