Comments

"Moore countered the idea that audiences are losing interest in documentaries, despite the tough times that numerous non-fiction films faced in theaters over the past year. 'They want truth and they want honesty and they want non-fiction [films],' the filmmaker said at the Academy."

Mr. Moore might not recognize "truth" if it bumped into him, identified itself, and shook his hand. What he really wants is for people to support his brand of propaganda.
