What Goes Around Comes Around
I find this hilarious. It validates my judgment to myself. I was thinking of making a documentary about Michael Moore, showing his hypocrisy, and voila, a pair of liberals beat me to it. Of course, they didn't mean to be negative. They practically worship the guy. Still, his duplicity shines through their film.
Documentary questions Moore's tactics - Yahoo! News: By Christy Lemire, AP Movie Writer.
AUSTIN, Texas - As documentary filmmakers, Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine looked up to Michael Moore.Then they tried to do a documentary of their own about him — and ran into the same sort of resistance Moore himself famously faces in his own films.
The result is "Manufacturing Dissent," which turns the camera on the confrontational documentarian and examines some of his methods. Among their revelations in the movie, which had its world premiere Saturday night at the South by Southwest film festival: That Moore actually did speak with then-General Motors chairman Roger Smith, the evasive subject of his 1989 debut Roger & Me, but chose to withhold that footage from the final cut.
The husband-and-wife directors spent over two years making the movie, which follows Moore on his college tour promoting 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11. The film shows Melnyk repeatedly approaching Moore for an interview and being rejected; members of Moore's team also kick the couple out of the audience at one of his speeches, saying they weren't allowed to be shooting there.
You can read the full article to get all the details. The point is, Michael Moore's whole reason for making the documentary Roger and Me was that Roger (Roger Smith) supposedly was inaccessible, and wouldn't meet with Moore. Whoops! I guess Mr. Moore wasn't entirely honest was he? His other documentaries are just as full of holes, as is Mr. Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
Great Editing
Left-wing documentaries, and organizations for that matter, are like this. They are propaganda pieces designed to inflame people and set up fundraising for pet projects. Gore's got the whole world scared. Hollywood continues to honor people like Moore and Gore. I'd rather have "more gore," Hollywood horror movies, than anything Moore and Gore manufacture. I will see their movies, because they are entertaining. I feel bad about them, though, because they masquerade as truth, and people believe them.
We ought to have a board of Truth that looks into the validity of the claims of documentaries, including left- and right-wing films. After all, you can lie with pictures, photos, and interviews. It all depends on the editing. If you're Michael Moore you just leave out the fact that you did meet with Roger. If you're Gore, you leave out the scientists who don't believe that global warming is as bad as he says it is.
Leftists are great editors.

Rock, great story, I hadn't heard anything about it, sounds like one that I would like to watch, just to point and laugh.
ReplyDeleteMoore is a piece of xzxzxx work. I have a new weekly award, "Yellow Bellied Sapsucker of the Week Award", he is a likely recipient. Haven't had a lot of time to visit lately, still reading.
ReplyDeleteSgt Dub, thanks for the comment. I love exposing the hypocrisy of liberals. Yes, I realize there are hypocritical conservatives too, but I really believe there are fewer of them. The left are vicious, throat-cutting fascists. It is so ironic since they pose as goody-goody earth- and people-lovers. It's like John Edwards complaining about 2 Americas, the rich and the poor, from his 22 room mansion. What a load of crap!

Sarge Charlie,
ReplyDeleteSorry too from me, for not visiting lately. I am embroiled in the biggest personal challenge of my life, and am being tested by God Himself. I accept the challenge, but wow it's hard.
You and Sgt Dub etc. are wonderful people. Thanks for visiting.
Michael Moore is profiting from killing Americans. I know this is harsh to say, but it's true. He probably believes he is a hero, but he is not. Anyone who tells the truth is a hero, like you and Sgt Dub, and Empress Bee.
God bless you all.
