As much as I admired this film I was dissapointed to learn of the inacuracies in the film. With an important message like this it's vital to hold to the value of truth.

in columbine he mostly blames lockheed martin and chuck heston for all the ills of the world - the govt hardly gets a lookin

but a lot of people who love this film bring their own agenda to it

personally, i prefer ann coulter these days, she's much more of a hoot. as bonkers as moore too.

Isn't she that right-wing nut that wanted to invade all Islamic countries and convert them to Christianity? She is definetely way more insane than Moore. I wonder what she thinks of the InterWeb? I bet it's evil.

no, she likes the interweb. it's liberals who don't.

If the internet, talk radio and Fox News had been around in McCarthy's day, my book wouldn't be the first time most people would be hearing the truth about "McCarthyism."

I only watched this docufilm recently, I thought it was great. I don't know about the truth to bull**** ratio in it. But as a piece it was entertaining, enlighting and well made, ni my opinion.
