I have seen his work and I have also managed to read a lot about how his "documentaries" are set up to convey his opinion. I understand that it is up to a film maker to make a movie make his point. But, in the case of Moore, he seems to try and claim that what he is presenting is fully fact and not choreographed in any way. That is certainly not the case. There were one too many different points brought up against his Columbine film (and, yes, I did see it) that in the end I felt like I wasted my money in going to see it. It took something that I thought was an OK documentary and brought to light that it was really a paid for, by me and other movie goers, commerical for Mr. Moore's opinions.
