- Turnabout is more than fair play in this documentary
What is interesting about this documentary is that it is made not by conservatives, but by Canadian liberals who largely share Moore's left-wing perspective.They start out sympathetic to Moore, but, by the end, are finally forced to admit that Moore is a self-aggrandizing liar whose films, while entertaining and well made, are certainly not "documentaries."
The filmmakers are clearly not hostile to Moore or his politics.For example, they point out that Moore was absurdly and unfairly ... Read More

- An intriguing and fair film for Moore detractors and fans alike
Some other anti-Moore films have fallen short, but Manufacturing Dissent provides a fair and interesting view of Michael Moore's filmmaking tactics.
I first only thought that Fahrenheit 9/11 was Moore's only film with twisted facts and out-of-context imagery, but it seems that's been Moore's process from the very beginning, from Roger & Me on down.
While other reviewers criticize these filmmakers of repeating Moore's own techniques, they did so in attempting to get an interview ... Read More
Rating: - An Inconvenient Truth About Michael Moore
Most intelligent people can decide for themselves after seeing a film done by Michael Moore whether it's factual or not, but I think many people instead may want to believe it if they agree with it, or disbelieve it if they don't. But the most telling thing about this film exposing Michael Moore's tactics is that his most staunch supporters...the people who know him personally and have worked with him...disapprove of his methods and talk about his distortions in his films.When his closest collaborators ...

Rating: - Character Assassination Fails to Ring True
I just saw "Manufacturing Dissent" for the first time, and what I came away with mostly is that most of the arguments intended to discredit Moore are calculatedly specious. At the same time this documentary is claimed by some to be an even handed account of Moore and his methods.
For example, much is made of Moore's manipulativeness. Well, I don't think I've ever known anyone in public life, especially in the political arena, get up to speak before an audience, on camera, without presenting a ... Read More
Rating: - No HOLLYWOOD backing... but THIS is a Documentary
I find it disheartening that so many people have bought into the Moore train. The truth about documentary is the allowance of letting the camera do the talking and giving a birdseye view into a story in order to shed some light and expose TRUTHS.
The thing I found after watching Fahrenheit 9/11, SICKO and MANUFACTURING DISSENT was that... walking away from Fahrenheit 9/11... there were no answers, only questions. How much of the video that was VOICED OVER by Democrat Michael Moore was just stuff ... Read More
