• 9-1-1, Michael Moore! So you're in the theater, watching "Fahrenheit 9/11" as the movie flashes photos of big newspaper headlines ...

The Washington Post.

The St. Petersburg Times.

The Bloomington, IL, Pantagraph.

Uh, the Bloomington Pantagraph? In the smash Michael Moore flick?

One word: Yup.

"It's definitely The Pantagraph," says Dawn Riordan at The Normal Theater where she and her husband, Cliff Carney, have viewed the shot so many times, they've written down the Pantagraph headline featured in the movie ("LATEST FLORIDA RECOUNT SHOWS GORE WON ELECTION") and the date of the edition it allegedly appeared -- Wed., Dec. 11, 2001.

One problem:

We went through the entire Wed., Dec. 11, 2001 edition of this newspaper -- and there's no such headline.

A call to Michael Moore's film company remains unanswered.

As for those alleged "factual" question marks in the otherwise great movie: Now apparently, you can even add this newspaper to the list.
