Marilyn Manson was right on the fact though that the media trys to make you afraid.

The media wants ratings. They take precedent over anything else. Blaming Mansom for murders when the murderers actually HATED his music is just one example.
I referenced the Brief History in my earlier post. Moore claims that there is a connection between the NRA and KKK. Never mind that the NRA was founded by union abolishionists. Once again, facts don't matter to him.
He also alludes to the Pilgrims being irrationally afraid of the British when they fled to the new world. The fact is that at the time Britain had demanded that everyone would "convert to the Church of England or die." Puritans were being jailed and executed at the time, but once again facts don't matter much to Moore.
I highly urge that everyone reads Bowlingfortruth.com, even if you are skeptical of the facts I have posted. the have an EXCELLENT dissection of the entirety of movie as well as the horribly inaccurate Brief History of America cartoon. If you go in with an open mind that site will open it more.
