Re: Thoughts on Bias

For example, Moore hasn't been a catalyst for anything. IMHO. There have been discussions about Bowling for Columbine ad nauseam. However, I have yet to hear an interesting discussion about the central question you propose. That is because the discussions all start from Moore's slanted story.

Interesting point. Boring documentaries don't succeed because they are boring and nobody watches them. Documentaries such as Moore's don't succeed (assuming success is measured by affecting a change in either the way we discuss the issue or a policy change) because their slanted style leads people to discuss the film itself, not the content/questions raised.
