Gus: BTW: Gore and the IPCC shared the Nobel Peace Prize for not contributing anything to peace. Al can add that to his list, along with an Emmy for one of the worst films ever created.

I watched “Death of a President” last night and gave it a 4 (out of 5) star rating on Flixster. Although this is yet another leftist propaganda film that never would have been made if a Democrat was in office under exactly the same circumstances, it is a bit gripping – demonstrating at least in a somewhat unevolved way the potential for use of documentary style in fiction.

Thanks Mike. I’ve been thinking about Michael Moore since the article, and why I didn’t mention him. I guess maybe because that seems so much like it would be a subject of focus in itself. But you have a good point. In fact, a title for an article back when Gore decided to go this way, might have been “Michael Moore Move Over.” But that might have required some comment about his weight – way, way over in order to give Al some room. Al pudged out a bit too – but I guess might have slimmed down a bit for the movie.

Pushing the “documentary” purely as a propaganda tool in theaters has damaged the credibility of the technique – perhaps irreparably.

Agreed: it’s a coup de grace against the documentary as a credible form… but with Michael Moore and certain notable contributions from PBS, the documentary form has been withering for years. Al Gore just gave the old horse a merciful bullet to the head.

Great article, BTW.

I am a movie lover and was looking forward to what might be done with the “documentary style” as it’s called (when it’s not an actual documentary). It seems like Al is the most successful professional screw-up in history. First he bumbles around in politics, leading to at least the partial destruction of democracy. Now that we have no rights left, at least we might be able to get a little entertainment at the movies. He’s going to kill that too – just before he kills off trasportation so we can’t go anywher and then cuts our heat off.

Dear Roger,
I’m not a big movie fan but you have made a good, relevant and important point, viz., that Al Gore has made another contribution to the wholesale corruption
of information dissemination in the world.
A member of the scientific board which shared the Nobel Award who teachs at the University of Alabama with Gore said that it ticked him of because he thought that the Nobel Prize in Science was given for scientific work not PR abilities. He also said that the question was too complex to substantiate Gore’s pronouncements.
Accurate information is vital to a free democratic government. Abbe Hoffman back in the 60’s was right on the money when he said that the first place a modern revolutionary heads for is the television studio which is what Fidel castro did in 1959.
Your article was very relevant.

I can see that this subject is not on the high priority list for readers of MND. But it’s another big lie aimed at defining world domination by a few as a political imperative.
