Tug of war...

(reposted)

This is the 2nd part of a Michael Moore interview which took place recently on CNN. I enjoy watching Michael Moore because I think he has good points, but he's blatantly biased. In this interview, he basically admits it, but has a good, quick excuse for it.

He accuses the Bush administration of fear mongering all the time, and he's right, but what about himself? Moore pulls on heart-strings just as hard as Bush plays off fear. Does Moore try to just make strong points, or does he try to manipulate the public into doing what he considers to be the "right thing"?

Its like you say in your other article, we need extremists. on both sides! the michael moores and david suzukis of the world help to balance out the Gee Dubyas and Billy Os. Hell, i wish there were more because it's still an uneven playing field. are they just as biased? probably. but it does help to bring balance to the rest of the biased information thats out there. I don't want to condone bias in media, but I'm not dumb enough to think that it's going to go away. May as well fight fire with fire. It's just too bad the general public isn't bright enough to do any digging for themselves, and just puts their faith completely in one side or the other.
