So more of a role model for film making than one for making documentaries. That may have more merit. I haven't seen any of his films as I will do nothing that provides him with any extra income and find that it's a very rare comedy film that I like. Information implies at least to some extent that it's valid. Moore is as I said a propagandist. It's also worth noteing in that regard that when he release "Farenheit 911" it was clearly an attempt to affect Bush's chance of getting elected in a negative way. Interview with individuals who had seen the film indicated that those who had gone into the theater undecided came out more likely to vote for Bush than against him. This rather implies he wasn't very effective now doesn't it?
