Whoa whoa whoa,

So if someone represents the minority he's a bullshit artist and a fat fuck?

Let's travel back in time and look at Michael Moore's first films, Roger and Me and The Big One. This was before the notoriety and the fame. His style of journalism has not changed since he began, albeit financial success and mainstream acclaim he's never changed. His earlier movies are along the same lines. Is he finding the lowest common folk in his films? Hell yeah, that's the point of social commentary, who speaks for the little man anymore? Michael Moore grew up in the shitty parts of Flint, which make the ghetto parts of Detroit look hospitable; I live here don't bother debating me on this. Has he grown more and more cynical, yes, however his reactionist style of journalism has not wavered. So fault him for whatever you will but he hasn't changed his style since the days of Roger and Me, this has always been his style, financial motivations apart.
Who else attacks the mainstream so aggressively and gets away with it?

Is he a radical who is finally getting his point across? Yes probably, who else could embody so well how easy it is to get a gun in Michigan, open a CD get a rifle. Do I agree with everything he says, hell no, I'm a card carrying member of the NRA, as is a large % of the population.

You don't have to agree with a person 100% to love that they challenge everything our fore fathers set forth for us, in any other county he would have been assassinated years ago.

So in conclusion, though I don't believe in all his modus operandi behind exposing the system, I do believe he knows enough about it to get it to work for him.
