1. Saying the US media is liberal is like saying that Hitler really enjoyed porkin' his black, Jewish, communist boyfriend. Its a victim mentality. Despite the fact that the media is so right-ward slanted that it borders in the obscene, certain people keep going on about the liberal media and how they're trying to destroy Christianity etc etc.
2. The only part I really went into on the Bowling for truth website, the What a Wonderful World montage, is really pathetic. It mentions something like "Mossadegh was a socialist" to counter the claim that he was killed by the Shah. I don't know about the other bits, but then I really don't care as much, being mostly interested in foreign policy.
3. Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh et al do charge for their points of view. Check out their books, last time I checked you still have to pay for those. The only reason Moore is charging for his viewpoints is because there is no channel left-ward enough to broadcast hi, where as the right has Fox.
But thats kind of a moot point. Whether soe charges or not, that has no affect at all on the content of the media they put out.
4. Moore is not in good standing with the Democrats. Saying that he's a propagandist for them is absurd. He slags them as often as he promotes them.
5. And finally, just so we can all sleep a little easier at night, Michael Moore and his supporters are not representative of the intelect of an average American leftist, much less those outside America. He's an entertainer and not a political scientist. If you want really arguements, realy scholarly analysis and so forth, go to Noam Chomsky or Howard Zinn. If you want to sit in a theatre and have your prejudices confirmed, go see Moore's film.
for me, these two are not mutually exclusive, though I regard Moore as an entertainer and not the best source for political analysis.
