ABC should do an airing of Farhenheit 9/11
I think that's the best way to present both sides of the story. Hell I'd be happy if it was Bowling for Columbine

3. thats false balance
False balance is a term used to describe a perceived or real media bias, where journalists present an issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence actually supports. Journalists may present evidence and arguments out of proportion to the actual evidence for each side, or may even actually suppress information which would establish one side's claims as baseless.


Presenting both will still give an Iota of undeserved credence to "PAth to 911" whereas Fahrenheit 911 is actually fact based.

My dad told me that he has been following the events and that Fahrenheit 911 is geat and factual until it gets to the soldier and soldier's mothers testimonials where it loses its appeal for my Dad..

4. Not the same. Fahrenheit 9/11 doesn't contain any lies.
You'd need a movie that discredits someone with lies presented as the truth.
