Had to stop watching towards the end of part two of 6 degrees. The redneck voices are far too annoying and most of the stuff that the film tries to "peg as lies" is just plain silly, stuff that isn't relevant or otherwise isn?t important. In that little cartoon of Moore?s ?thought bubbles? pop up like 10 times each with a bit of info that doesn?t serve anything. During one of the cartoon scenes it shows a boat going to Africa, picking up slaves, and bringing them back to America to be sold then a thought bubble pops up saying ?Many slaves were sold to American traders from their own tribe chiefs? And Africans themselves enslaved each other for years. Slave trade was worldwide?.

That lovely history tip is great and all, but how is it proving Moore a liar or being deceitful? Is it being deceitful by not including 45 minutes worth of information in regards to the history of slavery in your two hour long film?
