" If the media had done their job, if they'd asked the hard questions of the Bush administration about these weapons of mass destruction, demanded proof — The media — and everybody watching this knows this — got on board. They took the soup, they took the Kool-Aid. They just became cheerleaders for this war."

This is one of the best points Moore makes. Our media, our "liberal" media, as the right wingers like to term it, rolled over and died when we went to Iraq. They got their little flak jackets and their imbedded jobs, and they forgot that their job was covering both the positive AND negative points of this Very Big Adventure. If the media had done their job, Michael Moore's film wouldn't be such a draw. The right wing, and the Bush White House, out to be bitching about the media, and how stupid it was, and how it failed to do its job- rather than blaming Michael Moore.
