Ok, I will qualify my answer:

The Michael Moore documentary style dominates the artform culturally and financially, but there are other documentaries out there that no one watches or cares about.

To say my comments are silly because I ignore films that no one knows about and affect nothing culturally is quibbling over small points. The point is that Michael Moore changed the documentary artform for the worse and elevated bias over substance. If you want to argue that there are other documentaries out there, fine, I concede that meaningless fact.

And I don't defend Fox News, in fact I concede that they are biased, I only give a fair comparison to other news sources that seem to avoid your poison pen. MSNBC is far more biased that FoxNews ever was for the reasons I stated above. Fox News gives the opposition (which is non-stated admission of bias) a forum, and other news sources such as MSNBC do not. Thats not defending Fox News, I'm simply clarifying things because of people's omission of context.

For the record, I think CNN is the closest to being even handed right now, and I think much of that is owed to the rise of Anderson Cooper.
