While I agree that MM has taken stuff out of context and has skewed events to show his take on things, I wouldn't brand him a liar just because he has a tendency to misrepresent the truth. He may represent his documentaries as truth but we all know it's just entertainment with facts thrown in here and there. In Columbine, MM shows a very funny adaption of how America came to be. African slaves were brought here to work on cotton fields; remember cotton was king but it wasn't the only crop that was worked on. Cotton made alot of slave owners rich and slavery was the way to the bank. Was Slavery abuse? Yeah.
In F-9/11, there's the piece about an iraqi woman crying hysterically because the US killed her family in an air attack. I don't think the military meant to kill her family but what it shows is the big US military kicking major butt on these poor Iraqi people. There's another segment where they break into an iraqi home in the middle of the night to get a suspected insurgent. There was no knock on the door and no search warrant. What Moore shows is the abusive power of the military. The movie also shows that the Marines in a certain city recruit in poor black areas. Now does this mean that all Marines recruit in black areas? If they do, it's a shame and abuse. If they don't, then MM is not telling the whole story.
