Prove it. Show us one "lie" Moore told in the film. I'm not saying he didn't I just have yet to see anything in writing from anywhere that disproves anything Moore stated. I also know Moore worked very hard to post his evidence and prove his point. Though I admit he might have gone too far in a few places. But where?

BTW: You ouight to see the film before you criticize it too. And know that Moore hit Fox News (as well as Dan Rather and others) hard in his film so of course Fox News is going to try to retaliate. Fox News told us a lot of whoppers in 2002-2003 and they know they did.

It doesn't change the fact that Moore lied in the film. The fact that Brit Hume's how pointed them out is neither here nor there.

It isn't just Brit Hume, though. I've seen excellent pieces on the Moore lies on MSNBC and CNN, even though they are both extremist liberal propaganda distribution centers.


<font color=brown>You read "excellent pieces" in MSNBC and CNN? Apparently, they weren't the reviews done by those two media sites.......in fact, the reviews are very favorable towards MM and his film. There is not one word in either one about his alleged lying as you suggest.

Below are some of the reviewers comments I found most compelling: ;~)<font color=black>

*********************************************************

"The first half of “Fahrenheit 9/11” is filled with such Moore-ish mischief-making, guaranteed to embarrass Republicans. Especially excruciating: Paul Wolfowitz licking his comb to slick back his hair for the cameras, John Ashcroft singing a patriotic song he composed, and Bush preparing to deliver an ultimatum to Saddam Hussein, as his eyes nervously dart from side to side. The jokiest touch is a faked clip from “Bonanza,” with the faces of Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Tony Blair placed over the bodies of cowboys."

"In one scene, Bush addresses supporters at a white-tie fundraiser: "This is an impressive crowd -- the haves ... and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite; I call you my base." In another moment, Bush is in the middle of a golf game when he gives an obviously impromptu news conference. "I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers," he says. "Now watch this drive." He then proceeds to step back and hit the golf ball."
