Here is a snippet
Quote:
Forbes reports that an early scene in "Bowling" in which Mr. Moore tries to demonstrate how easy it is to obtain guns in America was staged. He goes to a small bank in Traverse City, Mich., that offers various inducements to open an account and claims "I put $1,000 in a long-term account, they did the background check, and, within an hour, I walked out with my new Weatherby," a rifle.
But Jan Jacobson, the bank employee who worked with Mr. Moore on his account, says that only happened because Mr. Moore's film company had worked for a month to stage the scene. "What happened at the bank was a prearranged thing," she says. The gun was brought from a gun dealer in another city, where it would normally have to be picked up. "Typically, you're looking at a week to 10 days waiting period," she says. Ms. Jacobson feels used: "He just portrayed us as backward hicks."

Do you get that was intentional fraud, does with a purpose to deceive?!!
Everyone knows Rush is a windbag, Moore's presents his work as factual when he on many occasions purposely presents fraudulent material that he with willful intent produced
Using statistics and giving your own spin is one thing, totally fabricating scenarios and presenting them in film as factual (and accepting an Oscar for them) is totally another
