Is it Information or Misinformation?

Has anyone seen Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 11/9"?
I would love to hear the opinions from members of all sides of the political spectrum.

I voted for Bernie in the primary but his supporters have to someday look at reality.

How many allies did he have in Congress?

With too few allies there, nothing he wanted would pass and his presidency would fail.

While mostly factual, Moore reliably overstates the situation for dramatic effect. It is certainly agitprop even though in service to legitimate issues, so that would make it what, informative misinformation? It should not be considered reliable information; only a starting point for additional research.

I saw it too long ago to remember more than the name, but I liked Moore’s whistleblowing.
IMO, 9/11 was a long-delayed payback for US mid-east foreign policy during the Cold War.

I believe it came out in 2018. I'm gonna check out Fahrenheit 9/11 next

@Unity I effed up and confused it with the 1966 movie Fahrenheit 451, the bookburning movie.

How he has managed to not get himself shot of seriously beat up always amazes me.

I didn't know it was a thing. I'll have to check it out and get back to you!!

I thought it was informative. Example: I wasn't aware of how delegates handed Hillary Clinton the nomination that should have went to Bernie. There's a lot there that I wasn't aware of. It's thought provocative.

@Unity I did know about that. And Bernie's people were slammed for saying it was stolen

@JonnaBononna I figured you'd know. 😄

@Unity I haven't seen the film, but I already knew Bernie was robbed of the nomination, and that his people got bashed for crying foul, not the winning side that cheated. The corporate media never sides with a progressive in a fight against a corporate Dem.

@Unity you should- you've seen my Facebook posts!

I haven't seen it for a long time, but I think he's a pretty good fact checker.
