Glenn Beck making movies is no more absurd than Michael Moore making movies.
Michael Moore movie is the only film I have been to in a motion picture theater where EVERYONE stood up and applauded when the movie was over.
I've experienced the same on airplanes every now and then. If Glenn Beck quoted people out of context, put Oscar bait in his movies, attacked straw men, and all that, he too could get the crowd to stand up and applaud him; he isn't stupid.
Quote:
And EVERYONE stood around socializing and exchanging ideas, in a civilized manner The move was meaningful. I know how much the right wing is repulsed by facts, but Glenn Beck has never been one to allow reality to interfere with his propaganda.
He deliberately mislead people in Capitalism: A Love Story, Sicko, and Bowling for Columbine. Many of the facts can easily be refuted.
This is how Cuban hospitals actually look, for instance:

And Michael Moore has never appeared to be an insane person on screen as Beck has, with his chalkboard and his continuous, never ending picture stream of Adolf and swastikas.
I never imagined that this would become a pissing contest (I'm neither a fan of Michael Moore, nor Glenn Beck), but editing out what the interview subject really meant or cherry picking facts is no better than reductio ad Hitlerum. Both are fallacies that can be used to profit of gullible people, wannabe activists, and pseudointellectuals.

It's interesting that you should point the finger regarding pseudo-intellectualism considering where you get your information:

Aside from sites run by Freepers, where do you get your political understanding from? I've been meaning to ask.

I'd take the word from Cuban exiles over the words of Michael Moore anyday. The Real Cuba is run by a man who's family was persecuted by both Batista and Castro.
My political understanding, I get from taking pop culture documentaries and tabloids with a large grain of salt. Michael Moore and Glenn Beck are mirror images of each other.
