And for bringing more attention to it, he will deserve some credit. "Roger and Me" showed the destruction of the industrial base in the name of shareholders. "Bowling for Columbine" made a connection between the companies which refuse to take responsibility for the ammo they profit from selling and the people wounded by that product. "Fahrenheit 911" showed the happy greed of companies that could somehow attach themselves to the Iraq War feedbag. You can fault the messenger all you want. I'm sure he doesn't care what you think, and he's doing a public service. That he's smart enough to do a public service while making money may be something to be jealous of, given that most of our society makes money by doing damage, but then again I suppose you prefer to give away your music than be paid for it. That's noble of you, assuming people want to hear it. People obviously choose to consume Moore's products. That they get some real information at the same time isn't too bad a thing. But as someone who won't support his work, you maybe aren't yet qualified to tell us that he isn't telling the truth about the subject.
What Moore does consistently is hold a mirror up to the way in which we gleefully hurt each other, and does it in a way which gets the message across by being sort of entertaining. Its quite a skill.
