Moore uses fake newspaper front page for his movie.

[mayfly]

Can we just laugh at the irony here? Moore is "coming out" with the big secrets and lies of 9-11, by using fake newspapers, and being sued by some of the very people who were in the movie for twisting their words. I can't believe he would stoop to lying in trying to uncover a lie? Honestly it does not make sense to me.

I think this man just did a mad scrabble for some attention. To me this is nothing more than a political ploy, basically a crappy 60 minute mud slinging commercial, obviously not with any real victims in mind. Obviously it had nothing to do with 9-11, he just selfishly used them to say down with Bush, vote Kerry instead. [Only registered and activated users can see links.

That is such a non-story. The date was off by a couple of weeks? What is the point?

Exerpt from article linked above:

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."

If he's lying, sue him.

Oh wait, can't do that because you don't want to give him any more spotlight?

Yeah, whatever...

[bobbcat]

Why should I sue him? Others will, and I will simply have fun watching it all unfold. As for the spotlight, he is getting plenty of that, and for the most part, he doesn't look too good. Whatever? Probably a collective "sigh" from those who would rather not focus on the fact that Moore is merely notorious, not great.

And rich. And even richer due to George Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.

They're suing Moore for ONE DOLLAR?!?

You're right 'Cat, that is going to fun to watch. I know the suspense is just killing me!

Will Michael Moore be forced seek change for $100-bill in order to get what it takes to appease those that he wronged? Or with will he be able to convince them to settle out-of-court for 23-cents??? Tune in next time and see...!
