"uses a Hard Copy-style."

Yup. Unfortunately, middle america is totally cook and ok when fox does that. They flip their shit if Moore does. No End In Sight was fantastic agreed, but there's no rule that says documentaries need to be made one certain way.

Moore fights for righteous causes, but uses Hard Copy-style (or should we say Fox News style?) manipulation to make his points. That's why his support has flagged despite Sicko supposedly being a much more fair and well-made doc.

I only wish Charles Ferguson's No End In Sight got the same mainstream audience that Farenheit 9/11 received. These topical docs should really be on major network television, but of course, corporations control those networks. This is wy "tv-on-the-net" could be a real game changer and why net neutrality is a HUGELY important issue.

There’s a reason he was hit so hard by the right wing press and basically discredited. You can probably guess why: they saw him as a real threat.

I think the only thing left for Michael is critical acclaim. His rep is so badly hurt by the likes of Fox News that he’ll never have as great of success as he could have with his docs. Almost every repub just writes him off the second they hear his name these days. That isn’t to say he can’t have one of the top grossing docs of the year, though.
