Synopsis
Moore shows greatest disdain for that which he actually is: a very rich, pasty White American Male
Watching Michael Moore in action -- passing off fiction as fact, deception as documentary, and sensationalism as statistics -- has spurred David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke to take action themselves. In Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, Hardy and Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far Left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of camera tricks, manipulated facts, and publicity ploys to tamper with the truth. Postwar documentarians gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, they write, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary. This new edition is fully updated with material on Moore's monumental failure to deliver on his promise of defeat for George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election, along with inside information on Moore's newest propaganda projects.
Loaded with well-researched, solidly reasoned arguments and laced with irreverent wit, Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man fires back at one of the Left's largest targets -- politically and literally.
