Michael Moore, the professional propagandist

Michael's movie Fahrenheit 9/11 has opened and became the first documentary to be the biggest grossing film on it's opening weekend with $21.8 million (1).

Michael has been called a "propagandist" among other (some more, some less) flatering names. You could actually agree on calling him a propagandist if he would tell us that he is trying to tell us "the un-biased truth" (Remember Fox's slogan?), but that is not what this movie (and his previous movies) is. This movie is stylistic exercise in exposing some (selected) true moments that will (hopefully) make people understand what Michael thinks about Bush and the current political situation.

Don't ever leave your critical mind at home when visiting a theater! Even when you see "F 9/11"! ;)

Whether you like Moore's style or not, and I do know people that agree with his views but don't like his style, don't loose this opportunity to see the movie that will kick you in the back of your brain and shake you into action.

All people have the duty to participate actively in their democracy, and this movie might just be the pill that will do that.

Counter Propaganda

Some people (like Newsweek and other non-free media) have been publishing lies to try and discredit the movie. If you read those don't stop there! Turn to Michael's site for the other side of the story, Michael's team has put up a page about the "F 9/11 facts", check it out here.

Happy movie going, and (especially) happy activism!
