| Moore manages to confound one reporter |
I just got this article in my mail and I thought it was so entirely brilliant that I feel the need to republish it in its entirety. It’s from a site named The Shotgun and it counts twelve ways Moore managed to make inane remarks in a two and a… |

| How can Moore preach about what he doesn’t practice? An idea…. |
I just came across a fascinating article in the Miami Herald written by one of Moore’s biographers, Roger Rapoport. In it, he asks many of the same questions we’ve been posing here on this site - how can Moore preach about the evils of capitalism when he himself has profitted… |

| Hypocrisy abounds in the NY debut of “Capitalism” |
The premise of Moore’s newest opus is that the economic system of capitalism is inherently evil and must be destroyed. The LA Times is not alone in noting how ironic it is to hold a premiere for a movie with this as its thesis in such a manor: As the… |

In what is turning slowly into a mess of bad press, the newest reviews of Moore’s new opus “Capitalism” continue down a very negative, critical, and sometimes even scathing path. Here are a few more interesting pieces that made their way to my computer today. From The Metro: Many around… |

In a somewhat stunning allegation, Moore is claiming that General Motors somehow banned him from his own premiere of “Capitalism: A Love Story” in Detroit: In what sounds like a publicity ploy, controversial filmmaker Michael Moore is claiming that General Motors banned him from the premiere of his own new… |

| More heat for “Capitalism” |
When even The Huffington Post starts to turn on Michael Moore’s new film, you know there’s trouble a-brewin’ for our favorite polemicist. I couldn’t believe my eye when I read their review the review of “Capitalism”. Now, for the sake of fairness, it starts out with a slew of compliments:… |

| Oprah puts a lid on Moore… for now |
It seems I’m not the only one who’s been wondering why Michael Moore has been nearly silent in these crucial weeks before the US release of his new movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story”. When a reporter from the LA Times tried to get an interview with the usually boisterous Moore,… |
