Director: Michael Moore

Michael Moore has been exposed here in the US for lying in the documentary and faking alot of the scenes. But that doesn't stop Europeans from eating it up, they love anything that is anti-American whether it is true or not.

Don Seer:
its not about being anti-american.. i see 2 main messages

1) the media in america is responsible for whipping up and over-sensationalising things, casting blacks as criminals and generally making ya'll paranoid

2) the gun thing.. people in cities dont need guns for gods sake.. combine with whipped up media.. you got people paranoid about crime and their neighbors

Don Seer:
and i have one idea..

the media should stop reporting all this stuff.. full stop

for one it stops the seed for the idea of guns for self defence being planted in people, plus it stops the racial criminal prejudice stuff being set..theres probably lots more reasons too
