I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Lisa Meyers on fahrenheit 9/11

skippy the bush kangaroo does a really good job of ripping NBC media whore, Lisa Meyers, a new one over her review of Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11

and HERE

To their credit, Skippy points out, MSNBC does admit that nearly everyone disagrees with her.
let's be fair to msnbc (even though they're not fair to us)

in spite of lisa myers' "fact checking" (minus any facts) on that "news" channel, msnbc online did manage to report that most reviews of fahrenheit 9/11 are favorable:



while saying moore’s latest work can fairly be classified as propaganda critics generally praised the film as an artfully rendered critique of president bush, his war on terror and the u.s.-led invasion of iraq.

“unabashedly partisan, wearing its determination to bring about political change on its sleeve, ‘fahrenheit’ can be nit-picked and second-guessed, but it can’t be ignored,” wrote kenneth turan of the los angeles times…

in a similar vein, new york times critic a.o. scott calls moore “a credit to the republic” and writes of the movie: “it is worth seeing, debating and thinking about, regardless of your political allegiances.”

one of the more surprisingly glowing reviews came from fox news.com columnist roger friedman, who called the film “a tribute to patriotism” and “a really brilliant piece of work...that members of all political parties should see without fail.”
