Moore was on The Daily Show last night (yes, I get my news from Comedy Central). Stewart asked him flat out if his film was "fair". Moore answered, "No." Moore is a satirist, and a man who won't for one minute deny that he has an agenda. Whether you agree with him or disagree with him or fall somewhere in the middle, you have to admire the fact that he is the first to admit that he is biased. He doesn't necessarily want you to agree with him - he just wants you to think. And, unfortunately, sometimes it takes an extreme opinion to make people think.
Kind of an aside...Jon Stewart was on Larry King tonight. A caller called in basically baiting Jon to say that the Republicans are idiots. He rebuffed her quite eloquently. Stewart may be liberal-leaning, but he's equal-opportuinity when it comes to calling politicians and political-leaning guests to the carpet. (And his flaying of Jennifer Love Hewitt was priceless; but I digress...)
Edited because "ist" is not a word.
