The facts Moore cites typically hold water... it's the method in which he presents them that drives me up the wall. As was said earlier, Moore uses emotional manipulation a little too much to emphasize his arguments. Usually what his films are arguing for have enough strength on their own without the lame attempts at rhetorical spinning.

No one should be taking any film as "truth" in the first place without reasoned consideration of the sources and the arguments made. Just like reading a newspaper or any other print medium.
