How will you determine the truthfulness of his book if that's all you read? He inserted a fake conversation with Fred Barnes into one of his earlier books. In Fahrenheit 911 he displayed a fake headline which he created via photoshop. How would a reader or viewer determine they are seeing lies if they judge Moore's work only on its own? In Bowling for Columbine he depicted a senile Charleston Heston as a racist though in fact Heston was heavily involved in the civil rights movement. He tied the creation of the NRA to KKK, though it was actually founded by Union Army officers who personally suppressed the KKK. You can't assume that anything you read in a book by Moore or see in a movie of his, is true. Based on his history, the odds are its a lie. Can you honestly deny that Michael Moore wanted the viewers of F911 to believe the US went to war with Afghanistan after 911 only over a pipeline? They can't of course.
