Moore documentary directors outfox Fox

The directors of the film Manufacturing Dissent, a documentary on filmmaker Michael Moore, recently appeared on Fox News. Talk about
your all-time backfires. The host continuously eggs Rick Caine and Debbie Melnyk on with leading questions, trying in vain to get them to slam Michael Moore. No dice. A bit embarrassing, no doubt, especially toward the end, when the duo talk about news organizations not being truthful enough to viewers.

About the film - I will definitely be seeing it. I found Fahrenheit 9/11 to be very thought provoking and inflammatory (intentionally so). I'm quite sure that Moore left a whole lot out of that movie, too, but like I said to many of my Republican friends when it came out - "If only half of the film is true, the Bush Administration has a lot to answer for." Of course, this administration hasn't answered for anything.

But, I'm very curious to see about Moore's tactics, so this film is worth a look.

A quick flashback - I found these two clips on YouTube tonight:



Here's Part I of a pretty good exchange between Michael Moore and Bill O'Reilly at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. I love a good political street fight, and this definitely qualifies.



Here's Part II - Billy is delivering some solid blows, until Moore asks O'Reilly if he would sacrifice his child to secure Fallujah and Billy tripped over his tongue.

I know, I know - it's just a stupid exchange between two blow hards. Yes, I said TWO. But, it's entertaining, too.

I'd award Moore the winner of this bout, but a split decision. O'Reilly is obviously a skilled debater, and Moore is not, but the latter still more than held his own.
