Exactly which information presented in the movie is untrue?

The part about how ordinary working-class Americans are sending their sons and daughters to die in Iraq, while only one member of Congress has a son or daughter in the armed forces?

I found the movie completely accurate. The only biases I found in the movie were a bias toward truth and a bias against killing people for no reason.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but this certainly got me to thinking... maybe I'll check it out. Thanks

Just thinking out loud here, F9/11 is a documentary that covers several years of history in just over two hours. Therefore it cannot possibly contain all the "truths", so Moore had to select what "truths" to include. From a pseudo-philosophical standpoint, without all the truth, can you have any truth at all? Obviously what Fox, CNN, ABC, etc., even the CBC present is not 100% objective. Nothing on our plane of existence is, because no one is omnipresent or omniscient. The very few pieces that are included in a documentary or news report (or in one person's experience of an event) provide an incomplete and therefore biased picture, despite the best intentions.

However, I did a quick Google for authoritative refutations of claims Moore made and surprisingly, didn't find too many that weren't filled with even more convoluted reasoning than Moore's film. So maybe at least on his own level, the right-wing had a hard time disputing his assertions.

Read the above book. Not going to debate this one again …already have / debated it to death.

Yes it is too bad the zoo keepers let the poor elephant die! I hope next time they can correct their errors.

Merry Christmas!
