   I actually enjoy this type of commentary, the problem is that he looses all credibility when he writes “97.4% of all documentaries present America as a scary place” CMON, I watch documentaries on a regular basis and that is just ridiculous. This type of commentary would have a great deal more power and impact if the writer did not feel the need to embelish to make a point!!!!! is that because he actually has a rather weak position? or is he just plain ignorant?

   Marc, I note you didn’t dispute that it was widely debunked. Documentaries should be primarily about information and truth. Mr. Moore gets a big box of FAIL on both counts.

   Just more proof that David Hannum was right.

   I think the 93% reflects very well those who want decent healthcare reform and the 7% - those who try - but are now failing miserably - to take the vast majority for suckers.

   I think the 93% reflects a certain bias in the media.

   “smug, sanctimonious and dishonest” is certainly right.
