The Media - Documentary Film Making
This Michael Moore guy is apparently not completely honest.
Perhaps, what goes around, comes around.
It's really sad that some recent widely publicized "documentaries" are quite shy of being accurate...

In the Jackson, Tennessee Sun, Christy Lemire, the AP's Movie Writer has the story:
"But after four months of unsuccessfully trying to sit down with Moore for an on-camera interview, they realized they needed to approach the subject from a different angle. They began looking at the process Moore employs in his films, and the deeper they dug, the more they began to question him.
The fact that Moore spoke with Smith, including a lengthy question-and-answer exchange during a May 1987 GM shareholders meeting, first was reported in a Premiere magazine article three years later. Transcripts of the discussion had been leaked to the magazine, and a clip of the meeting appeared in 'Manufacturing Dissent.' Moore also reportedly interviewed Smith on camera in January 1988 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.
Since then, in the years since 'Roger & Me' put Moore on the map, those details seem to have been suppressed and forgotten."
