Michael Moore is no more biased than Bill O'Reily

[Guest guest]

I will not deny that Michael Moore has a biased view of GW Bush.

However, where DO you get your info about him? To assume that the

mainstream news is not presenting an extremely biased view of him

would be extremely naive, considering that newspapers are all

catering to many of the same corporate interests that Bush caters

to. As I have not read Stupid White Men yet, I cannot comment on the

validity of it's sources, but I have read his first book and I

believe he cited most of his claims from articles in major city

newspapers. The guy does do his homework. I know naming the

book " stupid white men " doesn't help in the objectivity department,

but michael moore isn't a sociologist, he's a journalist. What

mainly concerns me about your post is that you assume because bush is

a christian he can do no wrong... haven't you considered the

possibility he is just going through the motions? Merely going to

church, referring to god, praying, and quoting the bible does not

make one pious if they don't actually believe the principles. or to

quote Tyler Durden, " Sticking feathers in your butt does not make you

a chicken! " Not to mention how often the bible has been

misinterpreted to justify evil (see: KKK, see also: colonialism, see

also: killing animals for food, see also: sexism, etc. etc.)

We should probably move this to theferal_OT, but I'll just quickly

point out that Moore is equally critical of Clinton and the Democrats

in Stupid White Men, so I don't think he can be accused of being

" slanted " against The Shrub.

 

Wasn't it Thomas Jefferson who said something like: " Citizens who

read are patriots of the highest order " ? It seems that our right

wing friends are not patriots.

 

And now back to our scheduled programme...
