The AP has an interesting piece today on a documentary film made about liberal filmmaker (redundant, I know) Michael Moore. Among the more interesting nuggets:
- Roger Smith, then-CEO of General Motors and the focus of Moore's debut Roger & Me, actually met with Moore, not once, but twice.
- These meetings were not reported in the media until three years after Roger & Me was made.
- Michael Moore proved even more elusive than Roger Smith, with the two documentary makers making multiple attempts to interview Moore with no success.
- The two documentary makers are both self-proclaimed liberals who are, as a result of making this film, disappointed and disillusioned with Moore.
The most amazing part about this to me? That anyone could be "disappointed and disillusioned" with Moore in the first place, as it implies some sort of admiration to begin with. Most sane liberals abandoned Moore after Farenheit 9/11.
