Noticing similarities between Michael Moore’s movies and his recent Academy Awards speech, Time Magazine’s James Poniewozik called the speech “a shrill harangue that would make a person ashamed even for agreeing with it.” Poniewozik also concurs with those of us who believe that the anti-liberation movement secured its own demise with its unintentional self-mockery.

James, thanks for writing that article. Saved me a lot of work!

And how’s this for balance: All of the documentary filmmakers who were nominated for Oscars stood behind Moore onstage in a show of political solidarity.
