Fahrenheit 9/11

Depois do arrasador artigo de Christopher Hitchens na Slate agora é a vez de Dave Kopel. Embora seja um crítico de George W. Bush Kopel acha que as críticas se devem basear em factos e não em distorções da realidade. Desta forma compilou uma lista de 59 mentiras incluídas no supracitado filme.

Nota: Kopel disponibilizou também um resumo de 4 páginas do referido artigo.

Quite obviously, there are many patriotic Americans who oppose George Bush and who think the Iraq War was a mistake. But Moore's deceitful movie offers nothing constructive to help people form their opinions. To use lies and frauds to manipulate people is contrary to the very essence of democracy, which requires people to make rational decisions based on truthful information. It's wrong when a President lies. It's wrong when a talk radio host lies. And it's wrong when a film-maker lies.
