On Fairenheit 9/11, Micheal Moore, Documentaries and Opinions:I've been watching all of the coverage of it that I TiVo'd last week. Conan. CBS This Morning. Today Show. The Daily Show. Michael Moore has handled himself really well given all of the attention.
One thing that he was stressing in ALL of his interviews is that the movie is a politically slanted documentary. In fact in one interview he mentioned that the movie was no "fair" to the bush administration, backing it up by saying that the movie is documentary in effect, but it's really important to understand that the movie doesn't represent anything more than his opinion.
That said, there is nothing in the movie that has not been discussed and unveiled in detail by the WSJ, New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and open hearings in committee. Rather, the movie has consolidated those ideas and presented them in the framework of an overall message: namely, down with Bush, our government is not for sale, and our soldiers are not for hire.
