'NY Times' 9/11 Reporter Reviews Facts in Michael Moore Film

By Greg Mitchell

Published: June 19, 2004

NEW YORK We had Ronald Reagan Week in the press, and Bill Clinton Week will pass in a few days, and then Michael Moore Week will surely arrive. The New York Times gets a jump on it in tomorrow’s Arts & Leisure section with a lengthy appraisal of the facts and opinions in Moore’s controversial film “Fahrenheit 9/11” which will be released on Friday.

The author of the piece, reporter Philip Shenon (who has covered the federal 9/11 commission for the past year) predicts that Moore “may face an onslaught of fact-checking” unlike any a documentary film-maker has faced before. Shenon’s verdict: “It seems safe to say that central assertions of fact in ‘Fahrenherit 9/11’ are supported by the public record….”

He also quotes Moore telling him, “without an ounce of humor,” that attempts to libel him “will be met by force.” He reveals that Moore has readied a “war room” to offer instant rebuttal to conservative critics; hired Democratic activist Chris Lehane; and has a team of lawyers ready to bring defamation suits.

Shenon says Moore “is on firm ground” in arguing that the Bushes have profited handsomely from their relationships with the Saudis, including the bin Laden family and the Saudi rulers. He also notes that Moore is safe in charging that Bush paid too little attention to terrorism before 9/11, and suggests he is accurate when he claims that during Bush’s first eight months in office he spent 42% of his time on vacation (the source being The Washington Post.

2. REPUBLICANS FEAR FAHRENHEIT

REPUBLICANS FEAR FAHRENHEIT
THE HEAT IS GETTING TO THEM
by Larry S. Rolirad

Republicans are terrified of Michael Moore's movie. It is because the movie is full of truths that the GOP never wanted to be exposed. You will see republicans blasting Moore for his weight, his eating habits, and other nonsense but they will be unable to destroy Moore's message. They will try by using their usual name calling, but they will be unable to erase Bush's seven minute dumb look while he sat in front of a class full of grade school children.

Republicans will rant and rave but they can't destroy the truth. Not this time. Fahrenheit 9-11 will spell doom to Bush and the corrupt GOP this November. I hope that Move-On and the Kerry camp use that seven minutes of Bush looking like the dumbest person ever born on earth over and over again. The airwaves need to be filled with images of Bush looking like the stool pigeon he is. Bush just sat there, clueless and dumber than a stump.

Bush's complete lack of leadership is glaringly displayed during each tick of the clock for seven straight minutes. Remember, Bush had already been told about the first plane hitting the WTC building before he entered the classroom and did nothing. And while Bush was sitting on a stool in the classroom Andy Card came in and told Bush of the second plane striking the second WTC building. Instead of Bush acting like ANY REAL leader he just sat there on his stool holding the child's color book "My Pet Goat". I can safely say that every child in that classroom was more competent than Bush to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief at that moment.

Wake up republicans and stop allowing yourselves to be dupes to corrupt GOP propaganda. Wake up and think for yourselves for the first time in your lives. Stop putting your corrupt political party above the best interests of the United States of America.
