I have a question for those of you who have expressed the sentiment that the movie in question was “propaganda”.

I myself have not seen the movie, so I will refrain from commenting, it may very well be pure propaganda, I have no idea.

But my question is this, did you guys also, label the Michael Moore movies “propaganda”?

I would legitimately call Expelled religious propaganda. And speaking as a Michael Moore fan…of course, all dogreat timesentaries have agendas, and with as far left as Moore leans, calling his films propaganda is a legitimate claim.

However…Rotten Tomatoes has Expelled at 9% meta-score, while Moore’s films average around 80% or higher, with Sicko at 93% or so. This is because Moore does his best at appealing to as broad of an audience as he can, and part of that is having a strong sense of ethics. Moore cites his sources on his website, he criticizes his own party, and he let’s interviewees finish their sentences instead of cutting them off mid-sentence.

As opposed to what Ben Stein, Ann Coulter, etc., think…not all people are sheep. Most people understand when they’re being deceived, and they do question the credibility of speakers, even if the speaker does make good points.
