Maybe I should have clarified, because, ultimately, it is a significant topic of discussion that interests me.
Primarily, Moore is not essentially a Documentarian (is that a word?), I think he is more a film-maker, and he did say as much in acceptance speech at Cannes. But to quote his other speech, that notorious boo-inducing one at the Oscars, he did say that he made real films in fictitious times - its reports such as these that stab at his credibility, and that I find disappointing.
No, it doesn't weaken his point, that the Bush administration lied and continues to lie about a number things, and he has time and time again demonstrated how Bush is far from fit for government. Therefore, it is even more disappointing for me to find that he resorted to falsifying so-called evidence (yes, the irony is astonishing), no matter how small, in order to prove his point. I am not a journalist and I am not aware of the difficulties of researching and proving your arguments in the media, but I would have thought that there was plenty of evidence against Bush anyway, without having to resort to false tricks.
It is, ultimately, quite sad. It doesn't take much to show what a complete dullard Bush is, if your forgive my partisan ramblings; Moore should have known better.
