At times, it's a small difficult for the Fox News-bashing left to stamp the Ailes Network with the Uniformly Proper-Wing complaint. For case in point, it is not every single day that Fox News seems liberal on CNN. But I caught the new commercial for leftist propagandist Michael Moore's new mockumentary "Sicko" on CNN late this morning. One of 3 ecstatic reviewers in the Television ad is Roger Friedman of FOXNews.com ("Outstanding!")
Is that 1 of people difficult studio edits that does not genuinely represent the critic's viewpoint? Um, no. Friedman's on-line review was a rave. It commenced: "Filmmaker Michael Moore's outstanding and uplifting new documentary, 'Sicko,' deals with the failings of the U.S. healthcare technique, each actual and perceived. But this time all around, the controversial documentarian would seem to be letting the topic issue do the chatting, and in the process exhibits a new maturity."
Friedman extra: "Not like a lot of of his previous films ('Roger and Me,' 'Bowling for Columbine,' 'Fahrenheit 9-11'), 'Sicko' functions due to the fact in this a single there are no confrontations. Moore smartly lets extremely articulate average People in america inform their personal horror stories at the hands of insurance coverage firms. The film by no means talks down or baits the audience." Friedman even agreed with Moore that the film was not partisan – but the commercial has two jokey cuts mocking President Bush, which includes the previous gaffe that OB-GYNS cannot "practice their enjoy with females" due to the liability dilemma. Mature? Nonpartisan?
Of course, movie reviewing is about the artwork of film, and not just the politics, I haven't witnessed the movie so I can not comment on its maturity or lack of confrontation. (The commercial does attribute Moore lying to a protection guard about no matter whether his digital camera was on. Cheeky? Or as well casual about lying?)
But Friedman also raved the final Moore movie was "outstanding" at FOXNews.com: "It turns out to be a genuinely amazing piece of operate, and a movie that members of all political parties need to see without fail. As considerably as some may try to marginalize this movie as a screed versus President George Bush, "F9/eleven" — as we noticed final evening — is a tribute to patriotism, to the American perception of duty — and at the very same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice." He additional it was a ought to-see: "But, genuinely, in the conclude, not seeing 'F9/11' would be like permitting your Very first Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether or not you are a Republican or a Democrat."
So a lot for the cartoon picture of Fox News as a land of Bush-loving automatons. The other rave reviewers in the business are Leah Rozen of People Magazine ("A substantial property run!") and Jan Stuart of Newsday ("Wildly entertaining!")
UPDATE: Scott Whitlock e-mailed that Friedman had a similar rave for Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Fact" -- it's showcased on the cover of the DVD, he says. The quote: "It doesn't issue whether you're a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative...your mind will be transformed in a nanosecond."
