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.
I still agree. Obviously the way Moore's film was put together, it was to hit Bush hard again and again and again.

This film may be trying to show both sides of the picture...

Fact remains, I still think no matter who wins the election, it will be the same story with a different puppet
