Sure it doens't make some of the stuff in his movie untrue. However, it's very easy to edit, clip, cut and what not to make things seem more extreem, harsh , less harsh or what ever.

It's just like simple statistics. It's easy to make any stats you want to appear in a fashion you most prefer them to be seen. You don't even have to lie or fudge numbers to do it. It's just a mater of how you scale for instance the Y axis and suddenly you have a slow growth in the economy looking like a huge jump to someone that just looks at bars and lines and has no idea or desire to really analyize what the graph acutally represents.

The same is easily done in film and in his case his so called "documentaries" which are suppose to be ubiased accounts of the subject matter. To me this trailer was more, no pun intended, waving a bullshit flag on Michael Moore. I didn't really see any Pro-Bush shit. I saw Bush speaking as and that was it. Never did I see "VOTE FOR BUSH!" or anything like that.
