I thought the role of a documentary was to educate people on a subject and expose the truth? So how can any truth you expose hold any weight if your documentary contains not just a couple of inaccuracies but fifty nine instances of 'deceit' (was 56 but they keep on coming!)? It's all very well lauding Mikey as the man to get the message across to a mass audience but if the message itself contains 'deceits','inaccuracies' or downright lies then it should not be the cornerstone of a revolution no matter how much you want it. Or is it OK to lie when you are on the side of the Good Guys? Seems a pretty dodgy, indefensible moral standpoint to take if you ask me.
I will still be going to see the film and I'm sure I will totally agree with it's message. But my point remains - you don't spread the truth by telling lies. There is enough ammunition against the ChimpMeister without having to stoop to his level.

note to mm: open you're mail client
It is open.
I've sent you 2 emails in the last 10 minutes!
And I've received neither. Doesn't change the fact my mail client was already open! Resend to my gmail acc please and we'll see if they turn up there.
Eeh I don't know - had a pc for a few months and he's already misdiagnosing problems. We'll make a consultant of you yet my boy. ;)
Talking of problems - I think I know why Dogs had his dodgy comment count. And it was his fault. Probably! :)
Try sending a mail to my Freeserve account while i go to GMail
Well that's why you did'nt get my mail the other day, cos you did'nt open it as you told me!
So i assumed....
Yay! Chance to use a stupid management phrase that an ex boss of mine used to use.
To assume makes an ASS of U and ME! Parp!
I've received your mail at gmail. I'll send you one to your fs address too.
Got you're mail to my FS.Sent you 4 today from my FS.
Signed in here and FF asked if i wanted it to remem my PW and then it said some shizzle about an unencrypted something-or-other and the info i am about to send could easily be read by a third party.????????
What does that mean?
I know any article like this will be subjective. Having said that it's one of the only article like this that I've seen that also says the White House are a bunch of liars too - hardly right wing extremism.
'inaccuracies are mostly not as they say' (your words!) means that some inaccuracies are as they say. So what use was a huge team of fact checkers then?
As I said in my post I do support the overall message (I think previous posts on here support that statment!) and will be going to see the film and making my own mind up. Actually that's a lie. I've already made my mind up - I know the film will be confirming my own thoughts. All I'm saying is don't just swallow it wholesale just because it comes from a left wing source. So does the Socialist Worker and I wouldn't even wipe my arse with that!
I just think it's damaging to the message if it can be written off as lies. That's the simple minded Sun and Daily Mail readers convinced then. Like it or not that is a big chunk of our electorate - they play a big part in choosing our Government unfortunately.
Choose any political viewpoint that is 180 degrees away from mine just to make an irrelevant, shit and badly contrived acronym 'joke'. Sort of like observational humour but with a spazzy twist.
So saying spazzy makes you a fascist now? Oh that'll be why we see cadres of Hitler Youth recruits drilling in school playgrounds up and country.
Funny I must have missed the term 'tard' in my copy of Dummies Guide To Posing as a Socialist Because It's Fscking Trendy. You must have a newer edition than me.
Considering you have repeatedly demonstrated your inability to read the actual lines themselves I would give reading between the lines a miss altogether.
Where did I infer I wanted them exterminated? Yes I generalised that they were all simple minded - but let's face it to believe any of the tat printed in either of those 'papers' you have to be simple minded. I've just reread my comment and I can't make that same inference. Maybe you need a fascist or feeble mind to make such a connection?
