Who's Afraid of Michael Moore?

I read the “Who is comfortable with Michael Moore?” article. Michael Moore shows that in Sicko, the health care industry as basically turned down 50 million Americans because they don’t adhere to the right companies or insurance corporations. Moore goes on to show a bunch of different examples, and probably one of the most notable is a carpenter who lost two fingers to a circular saw. Now the cost to fix both fingers would be around eighty thousand dollars, and the man couldn’t afford to have them both fixed. He did however to have the ring finger replaced because he was married and as Moore called it, “a hopeless romantic”. Now there are some obvious flaws in our system. And most agree that Moore does a good job breaking through the red tape and getting the truth, but with that being said most say that he is a very crude film maker. He’s portrayed in some lights as a “professional journalist”, but most of the media realizes this isn’t so. Moore uses dark humor and tries to poke fun at the establishment apparently, I however can’t really comment too much on this because I have never seen any of his films. He talks about how back in the seventies or eighties when Regan was president, how things were pretty bleak and the system needed reform. When Clinton came into office, it seemed as if there would be universal health care for all. As we know now that hasn’t really occurred. Currently, the Senate is trying to overturn it. It seems to be the overwhelming consensus that either you agree and like Moore, or you know he’s bring the issues to the surface but do not either appreciate his tactics or like him as a person. Some say he doesn’t use facts, other may say he cuts corners, but it still seems the main idea is still intact.
