Yet with all this competition, not to mention a nation completely divided right down the middle by a colossal idealistic fissure, how the hell did Michael Moore not only win the Oscar, write not one but two number one bestsellers, and make the must-see film of the year? It is because Moore, to paraphrase John Hughes, paints his targets with the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions and people eat it up. The concept is not radically different from either White House tactics or Keebler Cookie advertisements, really, but boy, does it sell.

[Let's see if invoking Mr. Moore (the reviewer, that is) gets him to answer his damn email. ;)]

And the consumers are themselves more likely to resonate with his messages, IMO... the right-wing and Christian radicals have their own parallel media, at this point...
