I wouldnt take him too seriously. He makes some good points, but is extremely biased all of the time.

A lot of Moore's arguments have little or no truth behind them whatsoever. You have to read everything he says with a grain of salt.

It's easy to take one mostly insignificant fact and turn it into conspiracy, and most of Moore's work proves that.
Granted, I've only seen Farenheit 9/11.

Umm Farenheit 9/11 wasn't a conspiracy story.

Michael Moore would be a lot more bearable IF HE DIDN'T YELL EVERYTHING LIKE THIS. Well, he'd still be a delusional moron.

Yeah, I didn't wash Farenheit 9/11 and I don't plan on it.
I know some liberals, liberals even, who make fun of Micheal Moore.
I myself, am an independent...

Liberal liberals?
Bowling for Columbine was excellent. Fahrenheit 9/11 was rubbish.

Michael Moore is a douche. If you want political information with a comedic slant, read Al Franken.

There's some pretty interesting chapters in Stupid White Men, like Idiot Nation, Nice Planet, Nobody Home, Dear George etc.
Even if it's overexaggerated(sic) or not the complete truth, it's still an eye opener seeing what's wrong with America.

I generally like listening to him speak, but I must agree that his best work was probably Bowling for Columbine.

I hate him so bad, as does my whole family. I can't even bother seeing him let alone read his ****.

For reasons unknown, I guess.
Maybe you should try, I don't know, reading some of his stuff.

He'll never be as popular again as he was in 2004.
And I thank the heavens every single day for this.

A friend told me Noam Chomsky did some good political writing, but I'm just too damned lazy to move my mouse and click five or six times.

Biased how? If someones trying to get a point across, they aren't always going to show both sides of a story, because that would be counterproductive. Although generally, with Moore, there isn't another side. Hes right about quite a lot of things. Hes definitely a liberal, but Iwouldn't say he likes either political party that much. He's been quoted as asking a crowd he was speaking to if 2 political parties could possibley represent all the 200 million or so people in the U.S.

Thanks, dude.
But about Moore being biased, well..
He stands up for women's rights and equal pay.
He's a huge supporter of equal and fair treatment to all races.
He's an avid environmentalist.
He has very clear opinions on all the right issues(pro-choice women's abortion, limited military spending, increasing minimum wage etc)
He exposes Bush's administration for what it really is, but that's about it.

Michael Moore is a bit of a joke as far as I'm concerned. Hardly very credible but moderately entertaining if you aren't in a critical mood.
