Fahrenheit 9/11 Was A Good Documentary, But...
IMO - Its Documentaries like this one (The World According To Bus) that we need to see more of.

I wish the television air-waves would have more reporting like this one. Its an one hour and twenty minute documentary that has lots of good, exposing Bush and his cohorts, information in it -- especially the second half of it..

------------


Hi everybody on the DU :hi:

I hope when you have the time to watch it - you do. And maybe share it someone who you know who supports the Bush company inc.

8. Hijacking Catastrophe IS excellent
I highly recommend it. It goes where I wish F911 would have gone - and that's delving into the PNAC and the purpose of it all.

10. It really is the mother of all progressive docs.
Has all the right people, makes all the right points, is the best production, and is the most persuasive.

4. Saw both--different target audiences
Michael Moore is aiming for people who don't normally go to docs, hence the music, subjective approach, and insertion of his dumpy self.

The religious section of the World According to Bush was surreal though, like something out of the Omen. I can't believe that even those toothless hillbillies on religious TV would fall for Bush's false piety. Jim Bakker was more believable.

9. Thank You
Thank you guys very much for the additional links you posted.. I really do appreciate it because I buy or download, then share these documentaries with my Union co-workers to try and do my share of what our corporate news media can no longer be relied upon to do - and that is provide information about the "whole" truth of what's going on around us in the world.
