San Mateo County Times : If you think Fahrenheit 9/11 is unfair, you'd better brace yourself

San Mateo County Times Online - Local & Regional News: "CONSERVATIVE Republicans are going bonkers over the success of 'Fahrenheit 9/11.' It is grossing more money at the box office than any movie in the history of documentaries. And, of course, there is now a dispute over whether it is a documentary because, its critics claim, it is not objective.
I've been going to documentaries for more than half a century, and most of them have always presented a point of view. Very few documentaries are produced by people disinterested in investing time and money for the sake of being objective.
That's because documentaries normally do not wind up being among the top box-office draws on the week they open. Moore's film is an anomaly that has caused Republicans to insist that advertising for 'Fahrenheit' end when the political campaign for president begins after the conventions. "
