It takes a while to do true scholarly research. This explains why Dave Kopel's "Fifty Nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11" is just now making it's way into conversation. (link via Dave Winer)
Just as I believe you cannot slam F 9/11 unless you have seen it, you will not be allowed to argue its merits on this weblog until you have read Kopel's richly linked point-by-point research on the film. I know it is long - but the movie was too.
For me the truth lies somewhere between Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh - both of which should be marginalized in any serious debate about the Bush administration.
"In this report, I number Moore’s deceits. Some of them are outright lies; some are omissions which create a false impression. Others involve different forms of deception. A few are false statements Moore has made when defending the film. Judge for yourself the credibility of Michael Moore's promise, "Every single fact I state in 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is the absolute and irrefutable truth...Do not let anyone say this or that isn't true. If they say that, they are lying." - Dave Kopel
