6. The bushites aren't just screaming LIES LIES LIES
In several interviews, articles, reviews, the word PROPOGANDA is used to describe the film.

To many the word propoganda is associated with negativity and misinformation. By putting the word F-911 and propoganda, these "journalists" are able to discredit the film without discussing the truth inside of it. This is not propoganda, this is an editorialin the form of a film with 3 main pieces: Opinion, Personal History, and facts. We constantly read and hear Editorals with this same structure from media every day. Talk shows are generally one big editorial that is low on facts and big on personal history.

As citizens, we have had to learn how to dissect these items. For example, in the F911 movie these are the pieces:

FACTS: Archival footage of George Bush, the Bush Administration, documents. Cannot be disputed.

Opinion: Micheal Moore's narrative will sometimes veer from describing the scene to interpreting the scene. You know it is being interpreted because he uses words as Maybe and Possibly, allowing you to wonder with him could this be true. He is not saying "the president thought this." He is saying "maybe the president thought this"

Personal History: Soldiers, Family of Soldiers, Iraqis shown telling their own personal assessment of the situation. Can't be true or untrue because who can deny feelings?
