Re: Moore uses fake newspaper front page for his movie.

Exerpt from article linked above:
Quote:
A scene early in the movie that shows newspaper headlines related to the legally contested presidential election of 2000 included a shot of The Pantagraph's Dec. 19, 2001, front page, with the prominent headline: "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election."


The paper says that headline never appeared on that day. It appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition, but the headline was not used on the front page. Instead, it was found in much smaller type above a letter to the editor, which the paper says reflects "only the opinions of the letter writer."
It would appear, luv, that there is more to this than mere dates. It was someone's opinion versus fact. It was on the editorial page, not the front page. Moore twists the facts and outright lies, and anyone with any sense knows it. Only people who want to subscribe to the crap he puts out give him any "credibility."
