1. So are you saying that all documentaries are true?

[marmar]

3. Interpret it any way you want to, Fire_Medic_Dave.

nt

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

7. Okay my friend.

[devilgrrl]

6. No. They are not. Not even close. People really don't travel the world to just to surf.

This is cgi at it's finest.

:sarcasm:

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

8. Thanks for your opinion.

[sakabatou]

13. Another one that's also not true: Ben Steins' movie

It's like one giant lie after another.

[Vickers]

9. Where in the fuck did anyone claim that? n/t

18. So you still haven't learned to read.

This (?) is a question mark it comes at the end of a question.

[rcrush]

2. And Penguins also. Penguins have a Liberal bias.

[eppur_se_muova]

16. Penguins? Liberal? Have you seen this?

[panader0]

4. Yeah! The Endless Summer!

[izquierdista]

5. Conservatives don't have anything to document

Well, except for one, http://www.archive.org/details/TriumphOfTheWillgermanTriumphDesWillens, and that didn't turn out so well for them.

[wickerwoman]

11. To be fair, how many conservatives would pay money to learn something?

Box office gross reflects who has the desire to pay money to see something, not what the "truth" is.

[Echo In Light]

14. They sell so well since M$M doesn't present truthful data/news & people want accurate info, not $pin

[kctim]

15. Absurd conclusion

Facts, not viewers, is what determines truth.

[progressoid]

17. ERROR. ERROR. Fox News has the most viewers of the cable tv news networks.

Does that mean they have a liberal bias? Or some connection to the truth? :crazy:

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. "Madonna: Truth or Dare" as a liberal/etc. film?

That's pushing it a bit. Or a mistake in the emboldening (is that the right verb?), which seems more likely.
