(15,720 posts)FOX and CNN famously, but even the earliest TV news programs, where they still exist, are partisan, sometimes openly, usually covertly in the way broadcasters being business people have a natural bias toward business-friendly pols, programs, and parties, namely the GOP.
In any case, Moore was making a movie, which we expect to be artistic, and he's very proud of his narrative skills as are most soi-disant auteurs. So what's the "story" Moore tells us? All about a diabolically corrupt administration illegally installed in the White House? Nope, we get a treacly tale of a dim-witted trust funder who bungles the big one but rises to the occasion. And that was the official GOP line at the time: incompetence. And 3 years after 9/11 was plenty of time for many including myself to realize that it was a lot more sinister than that. But Moore doesn't go there. Fine, it's his movie, but I don't think it did much for Democrats.
