Spinsanity, I think, has earned a respectable reputation as an equal opportunity fact checker. Michael Moore is the subject of today’s piece. quote: Like many of the political celebrities increasingly filling our TV screens and bookstores, he is entertaining, explicitly partisan, and all too willing to twist facts to promote himself and his vision of the truth.
Humm. If you add radio, who does that sound like? quote: They could use a better spokesman.
That is, I guess, if not reducing yourself, your reputation (and attendant credibility) to the depraved depths of your ideological adversary is of any concern.I think discipline begets credibility. And while attacking the opponent is more fun, spanking a family member is often more necessary for that reason. But then, I’m kinda a spanking kinda guy, so I’m probably wrong.

The Spinsanity article writer repeats several times that Moore "claims" this and "claims" that in the movie. That isn't true.Moore suggests, prods and asks a lot of things in Bowling For Columbine, but he rarely absolutely states that one thing necessarily leads to another. Some of the other criticisms had nothing to do with innacuracy, and a lot of the so-called "contradictions" weren't contradictions at all. Spinsanity? I guess it takes one to know one, because that writer certainly knew how to use spin and distortion to promote his agenda.
