uhhh...i don't know if you guys knew this...but ummm... all documetaries have a bias, or at least a distinct point of view (which is what moore's movies have) the minute you decide to choose through editing what people see, ya got the directors point of view. Yeah, maybe moore's point of view is a bit more obvious than, say, a doc on african wildlife, but what moore is providing us with is an alternative to the flag waving "if you dont agree, youre a traitor" bullshit that the mainstream news media (yes, it is biased) has been giving us. Also, think about this, would a movie studio (who invests millions of dollars in a movie like this) ever even consider releasing a movie full of lies and slander, nope. not in a million years. This would leave miramax open to millions and millions of dollars worth of slander lawsuits and economically it would not make any sense at all. While im not saying that this movie is unbiased or anything, it, at least, has got to be based on fact. So for all you naysayers out there, go inform yourselves with an opinion, that may not agree with your own, hear both sides of the story then make up your mind.
