So right. People seem to have a very twisted view on honesty and reality.

Moore tells the truth, or tries to, constantly.
Don't you know how people like that are received?
The ones who
lie
incessantly are more likely to be elected to the presidency, as we've just witnessed. They respond to our desire to be told things we want to hear, and so their endless pivoting goes unnoticed.

That's of course totally fine and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that; although I imagine I really didn't even need to tell you that in the first place. But the fact of the matter is that Moore, just like most people, has his own personal political narrative that he wants to put across to all the people who watch and follow him. And he will very much bend and manipulate the facts in order to make any and all of the various political issues he's addressing fit into that particular narrative(again like most other people).

I don't know. I've always really admired him and liked him.

I enjoyed his work on The Awful Truth, but turned on him once he grew an unhealthy obsession with Bush.

Damn that was an extremely good post by you if I may say so myself. And your post certainly does in fact raise some excellent questions. WHY is there not way more outrage and protest over The Obama Administration's deadly and unprecedented use of drone strikes/attacks throughout The Middle East that have claimed a countless amount of lives, not to mention all the survivors of such military action who are now completely maimed for life and have also witnessed the numerous deaths of their entirely innocent and helpless family members? I mean one of his ordered drone strikes even resulted in the death of a young couple right in the middle of their actual wedding ceremony. It's just beyond criminal. But yet practically no one wants to take Obama and his administration to task for all the various war crimes that he's committed and has been responsible for all during his presidency over the last 8 years.
Obama's use of military force in Libya was also an illegal action and war crime that completely violated the terms of The Geneva Convention. Obama's actions in Libya were no different from Bush's own illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003. And speaking of Bush and his various illegal policies, Obama also continued with the use of Bush's unconstitutional act of wire tapping average Americans. Obama also ordered the assassination of a SUSPECTED terrorist individual. And The Obama administration has consistently bailed out all the big banks and Wall Street just as The Bush administration had previously done. But once again, hardly a peep out of anyone for any of these illegal activities committed by dear old President Obama.
It's truly tragic and upsetting.

Michael Moore is inconsistent and biased. For instance, he supported Obamacare. Now, call it what you want to call it, but the point is forcing a person to pay a "fee" because he or she did not want health care insurance is immoral. Next, he criticizes the neo cons' stance of foreign policy, yet never says a word about the neo liberal position (Obama and his use of drones that kill innocent people overseas). However, the foreign policy of Republicans and Democrats are the same. Both want more interventions (By the way, he supported Bernie Sanders who although voted against the Iraq War, has consistently voted to increase OFFENSIVE military spending in the senate). The list goes on and on. Overall, Moore is an authoritarian operating under the guise of liberalism.

Moore comes across as a guy who is really concerned
There's a movie called Broadcast News. Watch it.

His eating of 25% of domestic pizza production drives up prices for the rest of us.

Because American people are the most butthurt people in the world. If anyone (fellow Americans included) criticizes their lifestyle, political system, economic system, etc - they start hating on this person. The Russians are exactly like that too. Two of the beep nations in the world.

Buffet Master Obi-CD tells all of Europe that the Freedom Fighters will win!

It's all in the film, and all of the people who Michael Moore interviewed are also in this film, and responded word for word, tit for tat, of what was said and manipulated by mister Moore.
Your formulation of what you believe is a cause-effect relationship of events, demonstrates that you actually do not have good critical thinking skills.
Go look up anyone whom Michael Moore interviewed, and find out what OTHER film they were in, then go watch it.
Prediction; you are so convinced of some covert, clandestine, or otherwise manipulative conspiracy, that you'll even reject the responses that these people give in FRESH interviews CRITICIZING Moore for his exceptionally poor film making style, that you simply will not believe it.
But, who knows. Maybe I'm wrong.
Go now. Your destiny awaits.

If you read about or watch the film about 9/11 that was a direct response to his work, you'll discover his manipulation of the subjects and, to be honest, flagrant twisting of the facts and presentation thereof.
Can you provide any examples of where he manipulated the subjects and twisted the facts?
Did he twist any of these facts?
The Bin Laden family really did have free passage to leave without being questioned.
The Bush family really does have strong ties to the Carlyle group and is friends with Saudi Arabia which really does have public executions.
Our shores were not being well guarded against terrorist attacks at that time. I don't know what5b4 its like now.
Damn, I'm good.

I don't get it. I really don't.
All he is, is a harmless man who is just out there seeking the truth and looking for answers while being concerned, honest, and sincere.
Moore comes across as a guy who is really concerned. Especially about those who don't have much of a voice and wants to see a better, a more fair and just society for all.
What is wrong with that?
Is it because that goes against the Repub. agenda, which puts profits before people and just doesn't care about anyone, why he gets so much wrath?
Why is he hated as if he was Hitler? What has he done that was so wrong and gets all this hatred?

Michael Moore is in the business of creating emotional outlets for the liberal or anti-right social circles. Social circles that think there's a corporate private interest behind everything. That's Michael Moore's audience.

I really like your posts.
You come up with good ones.
Just for that, I'm changing my sig for you for this.
Damn, your good doggie.

It really is his physical appearance. If he was a hot chick saying this stuff all the mouth-breathers would adore "her" and defend her to the death.
But "we" don't like fat people telling us we suck.
Look at all the gorgeous women on Fox "news". They say things that are untrue all the time and we love them for it b/c we want to nail them.
Most of what I said was tongue in cheek, however, psychological studies have shown that we are more open to the viewpoints of attractive people. This is nothing new and will probably never stop happening. Michael Moore has two strikes against him before he even opens his mouth b/c he's unappealing to look at.
If he lies so much why isn't he getting sued more? (that is a honest question and I'd sure love an honest answer with minimal name-calling).

The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.
You morons have been conned by this con man. You have made this man very rich by letting him convince you that capitalism doesn't work.

You also know Hillary is also. Neither are good for our country. Moore is just there to hear himself talk.

So then. wait you realize Trump is hated too so using your insta-meme

A. takes on monied opposition , B. Looks unconventional (for media)
Fahrenheit and Bowling
were brilliant. It didn't matter if every single min. was completely accurate. Nobody has ever done this as well.
Kiss
kiss,
Bang
bang

Why is Michael Moore so hated?

Yeah!!! Let's kill em all and let Buddha sort em out!!!!

I don't think I have ever read a post with so much total beep in it. You literally just made up stories and thought we would believe you. Congrats I am impressed.

In Manhattan there are protesters out daily preaching to kill all non-Muslims and those Muslims who do not believe in their terrorist cause. Sadly, trump was right. Many Muslims did celebrate 9-11 as I saw first hand near where I grew up. They were in the area right across the Queens Border running along Hillside Ave. to be exact. Some years after 9-11 while in Manhattan, I watched Michael Moore at a rally preaching all the lies like those of "Loose Change" that Popular Mechanics disproved. A few victim families were visiting Ground Zero. Walking together were a family that lost their young daughter in 2 World Trade, and the family of a man on flight 93 were visiting the site. They were in shock by his rhetoric. The mother of the flight 93 hero hysterically shouted who she was and to please show respect. Michael Moore went on a rant saying that her son was not aboard flight 93 and the proof was in the fact he used his first and last name when calling his mother from the plane. He (Moore) went on to further call the families (WTC, Flight 93, and Pentagon Victim's Families) co-conspirators. At this point most of his audience left him. So, if you know anyone who died that day as I knew many, their families are a "Conspirators" according to Michael Moore's words. Line him up next to Kanye West & his wife, ISAL, and NK's leaders for the line5b4 to hell.
