It seemed like the hard facts in Bowling for Columbine were accurate. Things like the stark comparission between U.S. gun deaths and gun deaths in other countries. Also, his expose of American foreign policy was accurate as far as my reading of American history goes, like our toppling of democracies and replacing them with dictators. It's a much more violent and deadly history than most Americans think it is. What exactly did he get wrong in the movie? Someone said the two kids who shot up Columbine didn't actually go to bowling class that morning and Moore was wrong on that point. Whoopdeedoo, that seems to be splitting hairs. Tell me something major that was a glaring inaccuracy? I do agree with the Moore critics that the interview with Charleton Heston at the end of the movie was done in poor taste. I know Moore wants to get his point across about NRA hypocracy, but he didn't have to be rude about it, while sitting in someone else's home. That is a negative mark on Moore for sure.
