Moore as Riefenstahl

Via Instapundit, the BBC carries a report from Poland quoting some viewers of "Farenheidt 9/11" who saw their own country's recent past in Moore's overtly propagandistic style:

"Gazeta Wyborcza reviewer Jacek Szczerba called the film a 'foul pamphlet'. He said it was too biased to be called a documentary and was similar to work by Nazi propaganda director Leni Riefenstahl."

And: "'Michael Moore will not convince Poles with his film,' the Rzeczpospolita newspaper said in its review. 'People are very sensitive to aggressive propaganda, especially when it pretends to be an objective documentary or a work of art.'"

After all they've lived through over the past 65 years, the Poles aren't likely to swallow Moore's fast-and-loose "documentary." They know a charlatan when they see one.
