as far as spin doctoring goes, everyone’s a little guilty. but michael moore has somehow become the pimp of the world based on his ability to charmingly, yet completely, mislead his audience.

his academy-award winning movie, bowling for columbine, features numerous statistics and “facts” that are read aloud and shown with little contextual support. and that’s where moore succeeds.
