That Newsweek site references numerous movie "facts" (the so called "Bin Laden-Bush" connection, the "Taliban-Bush" connection, the Saudi "escape" after 9/11. While soundbites were not altered perhaps, they were all shown to be unfounded accusations and in some cases indited Bush's critics MUCH more strongly than Bush. There are others BTW, the great single bite by Connie Rice on "Sadam and 9/11" is classic in that the qoute used in the movie gives the EXACT OPPOSITE viewpoint than the REMAINDER of the PARAGRAPH that was deleted. This is called DISTORTION which is different, but only subtly so than lying. THAT is the "bigger picture".
While political mudslinging has hit new lows this year (on both sides), a feature film using such blatant fact distortion is truley "novel". I commend Moore for his ability to influence "sheeple" on a large scale.
I think there is some wool to be shorn outside the theaters this year..
I am thinking of a movie too... "The adventures of a terrorist hating conservative in a decadant democratic decade..the TRUE story of Bill Clinton" Starring "Arnnnnold" as Newt Gingrich... Burt Reynold as Bill Clinton Roseanne Barr as Monica Michael Jackson as Hillary Pee-wee Herman as John F. Kerry Mel Gibson as G.W. Bush and...Howard Dean as himself
