It is very funny to watch the "source shooters" that can't produce any facts to the contrary. It happened to be the first source I came to, but many other sources provide the same information. Forbes, WSJ, etc.
Show us how serious you are and prove it wrong.
What source would you like to quote which provides information on Moores investment and financial status or credibility?

This is too easy. Aren't you shooting the source, Michael Moore? You haven't seen the movie, but know what it's all about and the motives behind it.
Whatever you think may be the hidden message, for me, my take on it is that he points out that we as American citizens should stop taking this crap from the companies we work for AND the government who represents them and not us.
Who on this board that is a pilot can find fault with that? Nevermind. As I said before, we are our own worst enemies.

It's too cold for me in Russia. Plus, the movie is about everything you advocate on the latest and greatest thread, so whatever che is, I hope it isn't dead. Or, you can plan on seeing 100 seaters and 320's being flown by ASA in the next 10 years.
Personally, I don't care if you watch the film or not. You already have the mindset. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you have anything in common with Michael Moore.

P.S. The people in the theater gasped when he was interviewing the commuter guy and he admitted that he used food stamps. There was also some uneasiness when he revealed that the FO from the BUF crash had a side job as a waitress. I could go on, but....

He targets a system and concludes Capitalism is at fault, even though it has been very good to him.
Would it not have been better to target corruption? A small distinction to some, but perhaps the title is keyed to his particular audience?
Most of us don't need a Moore to tell us what is happening and I don't think it is a good idea to be represented by his products.
But in the end sensationalism sells, even if it never gets to the heart of the matter. You bought it, enjoy it and best of luck!

He did target corruption. And he bashed mostly Democrats.

Alright! We have a meeting of the minds. I knew it could happen.
(Maybe bashing was a strong word. Let's go with, he exposed them.)

Check your facts, there is really no reason to believe anything this guy tells you. It is just too easy to find the truth these days, look at the history and the chain of events.
"Moore himself is one of these ultra-wealthy few, with a net worth exceeding $50 million. On November 1, 2005, World Net Daily reported that the anti-capitalist Moore -- who had proudly declared "I don't own a single share of stock!" -- in fact owned tens of thousands of shares in U.S. stocks. Most notably, Moore owned more than 2,000 shares in Halliburton -- the gas and oil company he excoriated in his film Fahrenheit 9/11."

Guys, what you are failing to realize is that it's the message that's being sent....not the messenger.....we should be focusing on. The movie exposes the greed and corruption in our society's economy. But continue to discredit the film (although I'm sure many of you naysayers haven't even seen the movie....so you have little idea what you're arguing about), after all, it exposes many problems we face in our industry.
We are LABOR. Not white collar....so it's time to rally around the LABOR movement. Let go of your right-wing country club ideals....you're only playing pretend there. For nearly the past decade, we've had a very anti-labor government and it shows.....just look at your pay stub or pension.
