yes moore is biased, of course he is, there's no point in debating that. However, you all make it out to seem like moore has been marketing his documentaries as complete fact, which simply is not the case. If you've ever seen moore in interviews you would know that he states quite clearly that yes, of course his movies are biased, because they refelct his own opinions. He says that the whole point of his movies are to get his opinions out into the world in a form that is accesible to everyone. Having said that, I think he does have a few very good points, but I definitely dont agree with everything that he says. He is a brilliant researcher, and his movies are proof of the tremendous amount of effort he puts into researching the topics he discusses. Unfortunately, I for one think that at times, he takes it over the top, making him come off as a fanatic at times, which distracts people from the information he puts out there. his movies are not designed to present information in a entirely factual, non-bias way. The facts are mixed in with opinion, and they are fairly easy to separate. His movies are supposed to shock people into considering the issues he brings up, they're supposed to attempt to shake people's beliefs, and maybe get them to reconsider their opinions. So of course he's not going to go about it in a non-bias way.
