Michael and Me
I don't watch documentaries because I believe in a cause, I watch them to get informed. Sometime they may run counter to what I perceived to be the truth, and that's OK. If I learned something, then the film is worthwhile. If I was entertained at the same time, then that's cool.
Here, I learned something and was entertained, and that makes this a documentary worth watching.
I am not surprised that Michael Moore plays fast and loose with the truth. I don't see my father's name on the cast list for State Fair, even though he was in it. His part ended up on the cutting room floor. Well, some of Moore's work ends up there also. He may not lie by editing, but he is not telling the whole truth either.
Do I care? No. He has managed to get the discourse going outside the right wing dominated radio and TV media, and the silent corporate media that we used to rely on for the truth. In that, he is a hero. So what if he has a few character flaws. Don't we all?
