Never one to shy away from controversy Michael Moore’s new film focus’s on the US health care system, and just how utterly fucked it is. The film premièred at Cannes and has gathered positive reviews from all corners with EVEN the Fox News network giving it a thumbs up.

I like Moore and I like his films, there’s many naysayers who say he embellishes the truth and manipulates facts to make it more entertaining but I’ve never bought any of it. There was practically a smear campaign launched upon him after Fahrenheit 9/11 was released, with several films being made just counteracting what the film had proclaimed.

As a film maker he obviously knows how to promote himself, stir up controversy, and generally make the headlines even if it’s in the weirdest of ways; The biggest Anti-Moore site on the net is Moorewatch, and when the host of said site Jim Kenefick wrote about his sick wife’s hospital bills on the site.. an anonymous donation was received. After the NY Times eventually tracked the money back to Moore how did Kenefick respond? .. by being kind of a jerk
