Would the major news outlets in the U.S. be serving their readers and viewers better by looking more closely, for example, at the relationship between the Bushes and the Saudis that is covered in Fahrenheit 9/11 [...] Or is it by saying Moore has only asked questions, presented circumstantial evidence or produced a piece of hate propaganda?

I basically agree with the thesis of this article.

... I'd reflect on this blurb from the article mentioned in my previous post:

Salon: With the success of Michael Moore's films and others, it seems like there is a growing trend of left-leaning, progressive, anti-corporate documentaries. Why is that?

Spurlock: I think that documentary is your last bastion for any truth today. It's the one place where you have no media conglomerate telling you what to say, the one place where people aren't going to put a vice on opinion and on fact. You can put something out that takes a stand and says, 'Listen, you need to know this.'

Then I'd wonder why The Carlyle Group would purchase Loews theatre group which is showing Fahrenheit 9/11.
