Critic's Grade: A+

Why is it that in the Land Of The Free,we only have 5 critics,Michael Moore and 4 standup comics?
Why is it that every time Moore makes a new documentary it exposes obvious
issues that nobody else (thousands of radio and TV stations and newspapers)ever touched?
Moore is a practitioner of psychological warfare.Taking 9/11 victims to Cuba for health care was a stunt,but a briliant stunt.(If you want to be picky,it is true that the medical care depicted is open only to high Cuban officials,visiting dignitaries,and tourists.It is also true that I was threatened with arrest in Cuba(defaming the revolution) for objecting to Cuban Hospitals selling Rum and Cigars in the lobby.
In 1968,in the Declaration of Havana,Castro said:"Every year 10 million children in the world die from preventable causes."He then set about training doctors FOR FREE from every 3rd world country.
Castro sent thousands of Cuban doctors to Chile,Nicaragua,Jamaica,Venezuela and Africa.
All the things that Bill Gates does to get himself on the Cover of Time and that Angelina Jolie is doing to get herself on the cover of everything,Castro's Cuba has been doing since 1968.

The other brilliant choice Moore made was to use horror stories from those who were actually insured.Now even the hacks at Fox news had to rethink their prejudices.This stuff really hits where it hurts.
Another unintended piece of psychological warfare by Moore is that he is a regular guy in touch with regular guys,hard to write off as an elitist critic.
With the last 2 movies,Moore has gone from being an ass to being a NAtional Treasure.
