Wacko Attacko, Response #1 michaelmoore.com Tuesday, May 11th, 2004 While my new film Fahrenheit 9/11 has not been seen yet, it seems to have already generated a wee bit of interest. Here's the latest. This morning, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal Ð who has not seen the film - has decided, instead, to review a "synopsis" of the film. That's right, a "synopsis" from a fax of an early version of a press release someone gave him from the studio. Based on this, he accuses the film of being inaccurate. But guess what? Everything he says about the film in his column is completely false. I mean, seriously, NOTHING of what he describes is in the film! Most real journalists would be embarrassed to do such a thing. What's next - "I can't see the film, I can't see the synopsis - so I'm reviewing the poster!" I worry that Fahrenheit 9/11 is already driving otherwise sane people to lunacy. What would you expect from the WSJ, the biggest pro-business, pro-war paper in the country. As they so aptly put in their paper today: "The bad news is that in today's freewheeling media environment, consumers seem increasingly unable to distinguish truth from fiction, news from polemic, reality from fantasy." This morning, they proved their own adage to be correct. They gave us fiction, not the truth. Here's a radical idea: Why don't we wait for the film to come out before attacking it? I promise you the film is much better than the "synopsis." - Michael Moore

Did not enjoy... found it to be provoking.

Professor Alain Besancon under the tenant of objective intellectual treatise, did nothing more than proselytize for his fave religion, while using the anti-Islam premise to win converts. I find that intellectually hypocritical. That provokes several reactions in me. He did not represent Islam as a scholar of the theology would but instead used the typical join our club twist on the religion (one that no Muslims recognise but he calls Islam). No different than passing out little tracts at the church door "What we should say when we meet a Moslem to Win their soul for Christ". Well...different in that he used a podium at the University intead of a soap box in the town square.
