More Distortions From Michael Moore

More smackdown of Moore. This time it is from mainstream media - MSNBC

There is a tremendous amount of exposing Moore's distortions on the internet.

In this article Newsweek expose some major flaws in Moore's claims. Including Saudi Arabian money, bin Laden and Taleban connections and the infamous "flight of Saudis" out of the US just after 9/11. None of it happened in anyway remotely like Moore says it did.

I wish someone would challenge Moore on these issues in a court and make him pay for his propaganda.

Some snippets from the article:

"More Distortions From Michael Moore" - the headline

"But a cursory examination of the claim reveals some flaws in Moore’s arithmetic—not to mention his logic. "

"But unmentioned in “Fahrenheit/911,” or in the Lehane responses, is a considerable body of evidence that cuts the other way."

"Most importantly, the movie fails to show any evidence that Bush White House actually has intervened in any way to promote the interests of the Carlyle Group."

"These developments, like much else relevant to Carlyle, goes unmentioned in Moore’s movie."

"This, as conspiracy theories go, is more than a stretch."

"Whatever the motive, the Unocal pipeline project was entirely a Clinton-era proposal:"

"The use of innuendo is rife through other critical passages of “Fahrenheit 9/11.”"

"Leaving aside the fact that the bin Laden family, which runs one of Saudi Arabia’s biggest construction firms, has never been linked to terrorism, the movie—which relied heavily on Unger’s book—fails to note the author’s conclusion about what to make of the supposed Bin Laden-Bath-Bush nexus: that it may not mean anything."

"The innuendo is greatest, of course, in Moore’s dealings with the matter of the departing Saudis flown out of the United States in the days after the September 11 terror attacks."

"“I thought the flights were correct,” Clarke [Richard Clarke, the counter-terrorism czar who was a holdover from the Clinton administration] told ABC News last week. “The Saudis had reasonable fear that they might be the subject of vigilante attacks in the United States after 9/11. And there is no evidence even to this date that any of the people who left on those flights were people of interest to the FBI.” Like much else relevant to the issues Moore raises, Clarke’s reasons for approving the flights—and his thoughts on them today—won’t be found in “Fahrenheit 9/11,” nor in any of the ample material now being churned out by the film-maker’s “war room” to defend his provocative, if flawed, movie. "

The truth, if tere ever was any in this film, was left on the cutting room floor.
