Quotes About
Dear Michael Moore,

All right, I give up. Youâ€™ve won me over.I donâ€™t think Iâ€™m ever going to like you very much, but Iâ€™ve come to believe that youâ€™re a necessary evil, and Iâ€™m at the point where Iâ€™ll accept almost anything that fights the current regime and the multiple messes that exist in this country

(...)

Trouble is, Michael, youâ€™re a liar, and I donâ€™t like liars. Youâ€™re also a propagandist, and Iâ€™m not very comfortable with those, either.

(...)

What Iâ€™ve finally accepted is what you are not. You are not a journalist. Therefore, you have no obligation to present the other side of the story. You are not really a documentarian, though your films resemble documentaries. You are an advocate, a debater, and as such, you may shade your argument – another term for lie – in the service of what you (and I) see as a greater good... though I have to swallow hard to say that. (...) Itâ€™s a sad world when I have to accept the likes of you as my spokesman, but there it is.
