IF YOU ONLY EVER READ ONE THING FROM MY LJ

######### READ THIS #########

The Thesis:
   "The point is not that Bowling is unfair, or lacking in objectivity. The point is far more fundamental: Bowling for Columbine is dishonest. It is fraudulent. To trash Heston, it even uses the audio/video editor to assemble a Heston speech that Heston did not give, and sequences images and carefully highlighted text to spin the viewer's mind to a wrong conclusion. If there is art in this movie, it is this art -- a dishonest art. Moore does not inform his readers: he plays them like a violin." -David T. Hardy

   I think we were all impressed with Bowling for Columbine and I know a lot of people I know have the utmost opinion of Michael Moore, but I believe that is exactly what makes it imperative that you read the aforementioned article. Its ironclad and unfailing adherence to citing legitimate supporting sources is indomitable. This work is beautiful.

Insightful, though he does use his own semantics to exaggerate points and whatnot. But otherwise, a well-researched piece that was worthy of my Saturday morning viewing.
