"Going to the Chapel..."

One month and counting ....

Look, I didn't proclaim this upcoming book as "gospel." I simply said that despite the biases in the Frontline piece, we still made good use of it - primarily because of the detailed research and "inside ball" mosaic they were able to paint (accessible after the proper BS removal hose was applied of course). I think this book will do the same - give us details that were previously accessible only to the principles involved, only it will clearly be an "advocacy" piece, rather then one of "hostile suspicion" as was presented by PBS. The difference is he is not reporting from the outside, he was there - it doesn't mean his analysis and recounting of events will be flawless, but it does mean that it is at least as worthy of our attention, if not more so, as the PBS special.

And while we're on the subject of biases, we all (and I am guilty of this in my initial reaction to Bush's War) should refrain from describing any "documentary", (be it electronic or written) as "Micheal Moore-esque", unless it is clearly full of flat out untruths, cutting and pasting of newspaper headlines or conspiracy driven theories not based in reality ... as is the Fahrenheit garbage, or Gore's "Inconvenient" snake oil cure.

And on that topic I have come across a DVD set , I'm going to the site in a moment for its purchase and I urge you both to do the same. You refused to watch Moore's sleeze without its counter, "Farenhype", well do the same with An Inconvenient Truth and ... The Great Global Warming Swindle. This documentary first appeared in the UK on BBC, and the expanded 158 minute version is now available on dvd at https://www.wagtv.com/product/The-Great-Global-Warming-Swindle-322.html . Lets see if Gore can stand the heat ... if you'll excuse the pun.

Later .......
