What about Michael Moore?

[augie]

This kinda of goes along with emailing Oprah, and just the same people either love or hate Michael Moore as well, but if a little birdie were to whisper in his ear of what is going on with the FDA, big tobacco, and big pharmaceutical companies, the political pockets getting stuffed, and e-cigs, maybe with a little reading from this site, he'll try and correct the injustice (or at least inform the public what the hell is going on with our battle). And......DISCUSS!

That would doom us all.

Seriously.

[PaulZ]

why would that doom us, may i ask? it may be good... may be bad if michael moore did a thing on this..

[AngusATAT]

Man, I hate that guy.

If he were to jump on the e-cig bandwagon, I think I would have to quit out of principle.

Michael Moore has zero credibility with most thinking people. His documentaries have shown that he will use any trick including cherry picking and changing data to fit his perceived view of any problem. Anything he would do on the PV's and the people who use them would be seen as an emotional publicity stunt and would probably hurt us more than help us.

This is why we would be doomed.

He edits interviews in a fashion to slant it towards his agenda. And has lost most, if not all credibility.

I disagree with that. There is a health Insurance Company ex executive named Wendell Potter who has been all over the news explaining how Health Insurance Companies have been screwing US Citizens fo years (like we didn't know that) Anyways he names Michael Moore as a huge problem for Health Insurance Companies. Wendell said that when MM did the movie "Sicko", the Company he worked for at the time (Signa) spent millions of dollars in trying to debunk Moores' views which were depicted in the movie. If they thought that Moore was not taken seriously by many people, they would not have done anything.
