I can't stand Michael Moore. In the same way that Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura can be mean to people Michael Moore comes across in the same way, all while doing it under the guise of documentary-type reporting. I'll probably still see the movie at some point, but everything I've read from both sides of the coin are very negative.

I came across this interesting article on Michael Moore's new movie, Fahrenheit 9/11Unfairenheit 9/11 - The lies of Michael Moore:
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery
