Moore

It would appear that Google Fight has declared 9/11 the victor. Tis surprising since the movie has doubled its count in the past week (from 24,000 to 50+,000+). However, the fact remains that when Moore made that statement, it wasn't more controversial according to googlefight.

Two quick comments:

1. Dictionary.com defines a documentary as 2. Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film. Now even Moore himself says he doesn't want to see Bush re-elected, so he makes a two hour flick with the pervading theme: Anybody But Bush. To label this film a documentary is a pretty loose label indeed.

2. It's making lots of money. So in typical Hollywood fashion, there will probably be more propaganda/documtary hybrids to come. And if you feel the need to watch Moore's movie, what would prevent you from seeing this? Interesting how he assails Moore because he doesn't offer the "little guy" an interview. What goes around comes around.
