Dude, wheres the evidence against Michael Moore?
David Aaronovitch and all those people buying Michael Moore’s books and watching his films will have to agree to differ on the fundamentals of Moore’s politics (When Moore is less, G2, November 19). But Moore has provided a rebuttal of the alleged inaccuracies in Bowling for Columbine. It’s true that Moore’s grasp of geopolitical issues in Europe is hazy. But he is part-satirist, part-polemicist. Satirists are supposed to be funny at the expense of accuracy sometimes. Cameron Paterson Harrogate, N Yorks I checked the website cited by David Aaronovitch, Spinsanity, and found an article which reveals, shockingly, “Michael Moore makes at least 17 factual errors or misrepresentations in his latest book.” Moore’s book has some 250 pages and a lot of facts. Some of the “misrepresentations” seemingly amount to disagreeing with Moore’s political conclusions. Spinsanity seems to be “liberal” in a similar way to Fox News is “fair and balanced”.
