Mr. Rosen,
Wouldn't it have made sense to include an online poll with your online article, "Who do you trust: us, or Michael Moore?" If you had, I have a sneaking suspicion that the answer to the question in your article's title would have been provided in a clear way. Perhaps you're not truly interested in the answer to the question and would rather just pose it? Perhaps you are frightened to find out what most people already know?
The "news" stopped being something that most people could trust for accuracy, fairness, or unbiased presentation of facts long ago. What the American public has been left with is, unfortunately, a form of "infotainment" that generally fails to inform or enlighten the viewing public in any meaningful ways. So, yes, Michael Moore's movie is a breath of fresh air. If nothing else, it provides the other side of the story that the mainstream media has neglected for so long. In that sense, it helps to move the debate over critical issues forward, because it provides a forum for the other half of the argument. To curtly criticize it for that only proves your hypocrisy.
