30. I have mixed feelings about Michael Moore |
|
I enjoyed "Roger and Me" and "Bowling for Columbine" very much, still, I recognize propaganda when I see it. On the other hand, with the right wing media's disinformation machine attacking us every day, it's good to have a bomb thrower like Mr. Moore out there. So even while I sometimes disagree with his tactics, I ultimately support what he does.
It is valid, however, to note that Michael Moore makes a lot of money from his endevours, and to question his motives.
Another thing I have to question is his political conviction - it seems strange to me that he would go from supporting the most leftist candidate in the last election, Ralph Nader, to favoring two of the more conservative Democratic candidates in this election. I can get no clear picture of where he actually stands, politically, from this.
