...criticizing Obama? http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2012/09/07/michael-moore-obama-detroit-fired;

Not really when put in context. What did you expect? - It's Brietbart

Huffington Post context? - Dara

That's as lefty as they come.

Breitbart's context is just fine; Michael Moore definitely criticized Obama's handling of Detroit's auto industry.

if I see Breitbart in the link - I dont even bother

to open it.

Breitbart links need to come with warnings. - On at least 3 separate occasions

after following a blind link to their site, my computer has caught a virus, including a deep data miner with hidden codes and resistant standard web fix-it tools. I had to call a tech out and pay hard-earned money to get rid of it.

All the more reason to read it.... - SK1

If you obtain your news from one source, or a limited set of sources that support your viewpoints, you're never going to hear the whole story.

So what did you think of MM's HuffPo piece? - Did you read it?

[ In Reply To ..]
How do you think it compares to Breitbart's version. I noticed a wide discrepancy between the two once context was provided.

I didn't see much difference.... - SK1

The rest of the Huffington article explains why Moore is still an Obama supporter, but the Breitbart article says, correctly, that Moore took a poke at Obama over the auto bailout.

I don't see a discrepancy at all.

And it doesn't change my mind that people should get their information from various news sources (and then, if they're wise, do independent research).

Bingo! Lifted out of the context, the BB piece leaves - the opposite impression,

[ In Reply To ..]
especially for voters unfamiliar with MM or Breitbart's yellow journalistic ways. This piece is a textbook example of why people should read various sources. BB would be one of the first cons outlets to accuse democrats of being naive, blind followers of the president and his policies. I read a piece of theirs just the other day, calling democrats "mindless lemmings." Fact is, they are leagues ahead of their opponents in this regard and are often critical of President Obama and themselves. Nothing could be more apparent than the "backbone" refrain we heard throughout the DNC last week.

I disagree - SM

Nothing taken or lifted out of context. Breitbart article gives the readers the highlighted words to click on Jabba the Hutt's article at Huff and Puff. No big deal.

BTW, "mindless lemmings" is nothing compared to the vile, disgusting names Conservatives are called on left winger sites.

Perhaps you misunderstood what I said... - SK1

I don't think the Breitbart piece took Moore out of context at all. It simply extracted the part that swiped at Obama. The entirety of the Huffington piece doesn't change that at all.

"President Romney" - How to Prevent Those Two Words From Ever Being Spoken - (title of article excerpted)...SM

For those who did not actually read the article, Mr. Moore is commenting on the fact that the auto bailout adversely impacted Flint, Pontiac, and Saginaw - American backbone communities he has been championing for greater than 30 years. He is not criticizing Obama so much as pointing out that there are lots of Americans who continue to be hurt by BIG AUTO - bailouts notwithstanding.

"President Romney" - How we will be saying those two words - After November - annieb

[ In Reply To ..]
First, I have no beefs with Mr. Moore. I agree with about 40% of what he writes and disagree with about 60%.

The following are my opinions and I am entitled to them. Nobody needs to come back and cut me down for my opinions. I believe what I write to be true.

But here is why I believe the country will be saying President Romney come November.

1. The economy. While Obama is not to blame for being handed a bad economy, his decisions and actions have made the economy worse.

2. He promised to get unemployment down. Unemployment has risen.

3. He promised to repeal the Patriot Act. He signed it again.

4. He promised to make our country safer. Our country is not.

5. He promised he'd be bipartison. He has always been only for democrats. Closed the door on republicans that should have been in meetings.

6. He promised he'd bring both sides together. He has put a brick wall between the two parties and called people not in his party "enemies".

7. He promised he'd tax the 1% wealthiest. The 1% wealthiest are continuing to be the 1% and no higher taxes imposed.

8. Wall street and in control and he is letting them get richer.

9. Spendulous.

10. Obamacare.

11. Lying during speeches.

12. Lying.

13. Promises to end the war he claimed Bush had no right starting, yet continuing on with no hopes of an end.

14. Promised help for the middle income, but taxing us more.

15. Beefest.

16. Lying about the other candidates record.

17. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

18. Bill Clinton's lies.

19. Foreign affairs.

Those are only a few. Again, my opinion.
