Mr. Moore is no idiot. Like Joseph Goebbels (I'm sorry, Goebbels is just the most immediate example who comes to mind, there were also excellent Soviet propoganda writers in the same period), he is a brilliant propogandist, but too many confuse his propoganda with truth. He is also a brilliant self promoter, as shown by his "news" that Disney was going to "censor" his Farenheight 9/11 film by not releasing it, just in time for a media build up prior to Cannes. The reality is that Disney had told him long before that it wasn't going to release his film. He is a brilliant editor, shaping statements and taking them out of context to support his ideas. Stupid, not at all. Truthful? Not at all.
