Bush lied to get us into war, has a deep, longstanding relationship with the very people most responsible for the attacks (i.e. the Saudi Royal family, longstanding state sponsors of anti-israel terror groups) and with the bin Laden family. He illustrated the pain of families who have lost loved ones in George Bush's war.
Michael Moore never said his documentary wasn't political. He never set out to make an impartial film about 9/11. His was a political documentary. Ken Burns makes historical documentaries. NFL films makes football documentaries. Now Sinclair Broadcasting is airing a documentary film about John Kerry just days before the election. That documentary is blatantly and unabashadly anti-Kerry, just as Moore's is blatantly and unabashadly anti-Bush. Problem is, Moore's isn't being aired for free on local TV, people had to make the choice and pay the money to go and see it. Sinclair is running the equivalent to free advertising for Bush/Cheney.

Funny how the screams about freedom of speech change when something comes up that people disagree with.
You can call Moore's movie a documentary all you want, it's nothing but propaganda. A documentary contains facts backed up with proof, none of which Moore provides. And, yes, I've seen the movie.
People had to make a choice to pay money to see the movie. People can also make the choice to watch the Kerry film for free. Even the crappy cable I have where I live has 55 channels, so it's not like I don't have a choice. As far as "free advertising", everybody from CBS to MTV has had more than a considerable amount of "free advertising" for Kerry, so consider it fair play.
