Fahrenheit 9/11: Wacko Attacko, Response #1

While my new film Fahrenheit 9/11 has not been seen yet, it seems to have already generated a wee bit of interest.

Here's the latest. This morning, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal Ð who has not seen the film - has decided, instead, to review a "synopsis" of the film. That's right, a "synopsis" from a fax of an early version of a press release someone gave him from the studio. Based on this, he accuses the film of being inaccurate. But guess what? Everything he says about the film in his column is completely false. I mean, seriously, NOTHING of what he describes is in the film!

Most real journalists would be embarrassed to do such a thing. What's next - "I can't see the film, I can't see the synopsis - so I'm reviewing the poster!" I worry that Fahrenheit 9/11 is already driving otherwise sane people to lunacy.

What would you expect from the WSJ, the biggest pro-business, pro-war paper in the country. As they so aptly put in their paper today: "The bad news is that in today's freewheeling media environment, consumers seem increasingly unable to distinguish truth from fiction, news from polemic, reality from fantasy." This morning, they proved their own adage to be correct. They gave us fiction, not the truth.

Here's a radical idea: Why don't we wait for the film to come out before attacking it? I promise you the film is much better than the "synopsis."

...no matter how it is released, theater/video/DVD or by word-of-mouth! (...The latter through reliable DU'r memory savants)

Its gonna make a $hitload of Money!!! With all the publicity surrounding it, we're gonna see a "Franken incident"occur like the success of his book Lying Liars.On SInday Morning this past Sunday on CBS Franken says he honestly owes some of the books success to Bill O'Reilly.I think once this film gets out,Michale Moore is gonna owe Freerepublic a ton of gratitude! This usually makes freepers implode because they know its so true!
