Will Pitt quoted on Moore's website

[Cocoa]

in the section on the factuality -- is that a word? -- of the movie.

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/latestnews/f911facts/

Then why are some mainstream journalists, especially network news organizations, criticizing Fahrenheit 9/11?

The mainstream news media is badly skewered in F9/11, so it should be no surprise that certain news organizations, and individuals who have covered issued addressed by F9/11, are critical and somewhat defensive about what the film alleges. The criticisms have more to do with how issues are addressed in the film than assertions that the facts are wrong. As the author Williams Rivers Pitt wrote (co-author with Scott Ritter of 'War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know), “There are millions of Americans who believed what they were told - about 9/11, about Iraq, about George W. Bush himself - who will come into that bright light with the realization that they have been lied to.… With a single stroke, Michael Moore has undone three years of poor, slanted, biased, factually bereft, compromised television journalism. This, in the end, is the final greatness of 'Fahrenheit 9/11.”

4. Will Pitt will soon be as prominent as Lars-Erik Nelson was. I hope.

I have watched Will's work develop since the early days of DU. He was a teacher then. Lars-Erik was still alive then and was one of my favorites in my weekly Liberal Opinion. Will Pitt has filled the void, since Lars-Erik's untimely and questionable death. Thanks Will, but for christsakes be careful.

9. Saudi's financial interest in media.

I was watching CNN this afternoon and I remembered F-9/11 saying that Saudi's have significant investment in AOL/Time-Warner.

It explains a lot.
