re: #83 Great White Snark

IMO the issue with Michael Moore is not nearly as much how questionable his facts are, it is that he must hit every point with waaay to big a hammer. Guy seems to eschew subtle.

I agree about the size of his hammer. I think he seems to always go one step too far (although, overall I like his movies.) In Bowling for Columbine, I think he should have stopped before the Charlton Heston ambush; in Sicko, he should have left out the Cuban boat thingie etc.

Although I usually agree with his movies’ points, there is always at least one segment that makes me cringe and think to myself, “OK—here is where he’s going to lose his audience.”

Talk about somebody who could use a good editor!
