Just saw Bowling for Columbine

For those of you who don't know about this documentary, here's the blurb:

Michael Moore, who wrote, produced and directed this documentary, examines the shootings that happened at Columbine High school. The documentary's focus broadens to include another shooting of a six year-old by a classmate. He then tries to examine the causes of these shootings and the reasons for the violence in America in general.

Personally, I thought the documentary was very interesting. Although I felt there was a bit of bias on the part of Moore, I'd have to agree with a lot of his observations.

The observation which hit closest to home was the fear-mongoring by the US media. For those of you who have seen this documentary, what do you think about Moore's observations and his message? Why do you think certain parts of the U.S. have so many violent killings?
