Poll question: Which is journalistically closer to the truth? F9-11 or cablenewsnetworks?

While not perfect, I think that when one puts a pencil to it, Michael Moore is no more partisan or inaccurate in F9-11 than the average quality of CNN, GE-NBC-Microshaft and of course Faux Newscorp

1. Both are accurate
for the most part but accuracy is not really at issue.

MM is partisan but not nearly as much as Faux or even CNN.

2. I've seen studies talked about that Fox viewers "knew" things that weren't
true by a huge margin over other news sources. In fact cable news didn't fare well against newspapers, NPR or even CBSNBCABC. Cable news successfully lying to America about the connection between 9-11 and Saddam Hussein is a big problem for our democracy.
