There is a difference between being slanted and telling an outright lie.

Here is what the liar in question claimed:

"It was the fact that people were actually applauding this filth, cheering Michael Moore, while heckling the commander in chief with a chorus of 'F-You' expletives as his visage crossed the screen."

Here is a list of almost 7,000 recent news articles discussing Fahrenheit 9/11:

news.google.com

Here are the 25 articles among the 7,000 that mention profanity:

news.google.com

Each of the 25 refers to profanity in the movie itself. Not one of the 7,000 articles mentions the audience shouting profanities.

Here are the articles among the 7,000 that refer to "expletives":

news.google.com

The only one that refers to expletives uttered by the audience is the article by Farmer.

Ergo, it appears highly probable that the person who made the statement quoted above is lying.
