"You know, I look at this movie as a journalist, and as a journalist I have this affection for facts and accuracy. And even though there are facts in this movie, on whole it's not accurate. Michael Moore is guilty of the same thing that he and a lot of Democrats say that the Republicans are guilty of." - Gwen Ifill, on "Meet the Press
In lieu of my regular daily compendium, and in light of the "whopping" 20 million dollar gross the film "Fahrenheit 9/11" took in over the weekend, I felt it time to compile a list (though by all means not all-inclusive) of the misleading items contained within and concerning Michael Moore's latest spinfest.
Have anything to add to this list? Feel free to email or leave in comments something that hasn't been included. I'm particularly interested in items submitted by those who have actually seen the film.
UPDATE:
As seen on Sewing World! And The History Channel boards (the guy calls me a 'reporter')!
UPDATE 2:
I want to thank Denny Schaffer from WSPD 1370 AM in Ohio for mentioning this compendium on his afternoon show, and welcome the visitors coming from his site; feel free to browse around the site at your leisure, and enjoy!
Without further ado, the list so far:
1. Sneaking Suspicions:
He goes to Washington, allegedly in an attempt to entice Members of Congress to enlist their own children into the armed services. At one point, you can hear him call out to Delaware’s lone representative, Mike Castle, as Castle walks past.
Here’s a tip—if you want a Congressman to enlist his children in the Marines, you might first want to make sure he has some.
Castle has no children, a simple, easy-to-confirm fact which Moore conveniently ignores for the sake of this shtick.
2. David T. Hardy:
Two months ago, Moore posted a statement on his website calling the Iraqi insurgents and terrorists 'minutemen' and expressing implied hope for their victory. In his new movie, Moore tries to make the viewers believe that he expresses sympathy for our troops, and says more troops should be sent there to reinforce them. Which of Moore's two views does he really follow?
3. Debbie Schlussel:
Moore spends much time on Bin Laden family members flying out of the US when the rest of America was grounded, right after 9-11. Showing a clip of Khalil Bin Laden at the airport, a chyron on the screen cleverly reads "days after 9-11." But, how many days? In fact, while some Bin Ladens did get to fly out early, most of the Bin Laden family flew out of America, after the rest of America could already fly. Moore says the FBI was not allowed to interview them, but in fact, the FBI was allowed to interview them and chose not to. That is disturbing, but it’s not what Moore "reported".
Additionally, Richard Clarke has, under oath, claimed immediate and direct responsibility for transporting the bin Laden family out of the United States, claiming that the order never rose above his level of command. Not only that, but the bin Laden family has practically disowned black sheep brother Osama for his terrorist activities, sometimes to the point of changing the names of many of their subsidiaries to avoid association with the arch terrorist's infamy. See #17 for more on this. Also #82.
4. Moore claims the Saudi embassy was the only one in DC
