I'd have to go along with that. Moore faithfully regurgitates every
conspiracy theory that appeals to the left without any seeming attempt
at verification.

I'm not sure that being a hostile left wing lunatic does much for
balance. It is possible to make strong (and often unpopular) political
points with wit and literary skill as evidence by P J O'Rourke, who
could eat Moore for breakfast. Moore is about as witty and literary as
a case of dandruff.
