I never argued whether or not Moore's movie was factually accurate or not. You said Moore got a pass and I simply pointed out that that was not the case.
As for ABC airing it, I support free speech and if they feel that airing this movie is exercising their freedoms of speech than I think they should go ahead and do it. There is a difference though. If you wanted to see Moore's movie you had to buy a ticket and go to the theatre or buy/rent it on DVD. with this movie anyone with a TV and an antenna can watch it so the audience may be much larger and the damage done much greater.
I would hope if ABC doesn't edit the movie and fix the problems that they will air a disclaimer before/during it to say that some things were fictionalized.
