WOW
I can’t believe Slate ran an article that criticized Michael Moore’s new film. Next thing you know the New York Times will be saying they don’t like Clinton’s new book?!

The lies of Michael Moore.
By Christopher Hitchens
If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture. Rock the vote, indeed.
Thankfully people like Moore are relegated to the far extreme and are not taken seriously by very many people. There is always light in the tunnel!
UPDATE (been looking for this cartoon to add and I finally found it again):
