What, exactly, does “Fahrenheit 9/11” mean, anyway?

Been busy this week, but this bears mentioning: Michael Moore’s latest “documentary” may have some serious credibility problems.

Whether you’ve already seen the film or plan to, you need to read David Kopel’s analysis, too. Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11 exposes Moore’s masterful spin through misinformation, resequencing of timelines, out-of-context video clips, and downright lies.

“… there are lies from the Bush administration which should concern everyone. […]
“But two wrongs don’t make a right, and the right response to Presidential lies is not more lies from his political opponents. Moreover, regarding the issues presented in Fahrenheit 9/11, the evidence of Bush lies is extremely thin.”

Please be careful and check the sources for each item. You should be as skeptical of this commentary as I am encouraging you to be of the film. On the balance, though, it doesn’t look good for Mr. Moore.

PS – Thanks to Mom for the pointer!
