Outlets are censoring anti-Moore film, book
October 10, 2004
Tuesday was a very happy day for millions of Americans who paid to see “Spiderman” but sat in on the Michael Moore fraud, “Fahrenheit 9/11.” On Overstock.com everyone around the globe can purchase both the book and DVD titled “Fahrenhype 9/11”, which unravels the truth about his movie and him as a person – both of which are frauds. If voters want to be informed, everyone should be putting pressure on stores such as Barnes & Noble and Borders and video stores such as Dollar Video and Blockbuster to stock this title on their shelves.
If they do not stock this film or book, isn’t that censorship? I know how much you liberals like to scream the word “censorship.” As a matter of fact, on Overstock.com, one can purchase the book or DVD for under $20 or a 10-pack of DVDs for $149.99. Shouldn’t local theaters want the students of NIU to have the availability to make a choice to see this? We as Americans should have all of the information at our fingertips, when most of us are making big decisions based on movies and Hollywood personalities’ opinions!
If the management of local video stores cannot afford them or doesn’t have the means to purchase these DVDs, I will buy the 10-pack for them to stock on their shelves. I purchased a book titled “Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man,” and it also reveals all of Mr. Moore’s excellent editing skills, misleading lies and the fact he has never worked a real job for more than a week.
The things he does with a camera and story line are not documentary in any sense of the word; they are manipulative, deceiving and most of the time, flat-out lies!
As college students who like to think of yourselves as educated, enlightened or open-minded, don’t you want to know whether you’ve been scammed, or are you going to drift blindly through society your whole life? If you discover that everything you thought true about the Bush administration suddenly turns out to be a lie perpetuated by Moore, will you vote for Bush?
Liberals, you are on notice, and Big Brother is listening!
