It is a good Ruling as long as the tenants are held, the original Fahrenheit 9/11 ads didn't meet it.
Now have a bit more to say
Firstly here is a Rather interesting Review though the guy is pretty out farther left than the moore portrayed in Fahrenheit 9/11 (though honestly think Moore probably would agree with everything this guy says politically)
here
Some part of the guys views just make me cringe but he is honest and his suggestions would defiantly make 9/11 more of a timeless film instead of dated as soon as bush is out of office. Now place think he got wrong was calling the part showing the monkeys that were offered by Morroco , racist is a bit of a stretch since Morroco did offer to send monkeys, MONKEYS!. And alot of this guys complaints are far left and that Moore just attacked the Bush and not the whole system (ala American empire) and the obvious Absence of Israel in the movie, and out right calling the movie even conservative. Though In Moore defense sure he made the movie for the purpose of defeat bush , instead of a serious change to the system. The Alienating Jews, and disfranchising voters that neither of the major parties is good would really hurt trying to defeat bush. And then the support of the troops at the end would also help make it political message.
Now here is a interesting good
articlebasicly premise is case study of the Propaganda in Fahrenheit 9/11 and is a very interesting article and probably can even learn quite a bit of the Principals taught in first few courses of college Psychology, sociology courses. Its long though about 26 pages but very good read and strongly suggest it, though as he says
He found that humans don’t pay much attention to argument validity - rather, they pay attention to the argument’s claim or conclusion, and how closely that claim or conclusion matches their prejudices. If a poorly argued message concludes with what a person already believes is true, he’ll buy it. On the other hand, most powerfully reasoned arguments with ample supporting evidence will be rejected if the conclusion doesn’t match what the listener wants to hear.
Though most of this guys stuff is arguing that its propaganda not the voracity of all the claims though he covers quite a few , but uses a lot of the stuff from the 51 deceits article but has other stuff, and generally fills in the glaring omissions some what like the first article did just not from a Far left view point.
I probably have more to say later but figure throw this out for reading. Though in reference to the 1st one that Professor teaches Potential Journalist? Wonder how good university of Texas Journalism school is rank and how many of his students are writing for Pravda or something.
And ah really have to say “History’s greatest Monster” (Simpson reference to carter) wasn’t that great a president for foreign policy, especially with the case of Iran, didn’t support the shah early enough and when he did was too late and then really had a mixed response after the shah was evicted. Well the shah was a very good friend to the USA, that at times during the carter administration was left out on the door (yeah the shah wasn’t quite the best of guys and a dictator, but he is better than the Current Iranian Leadership) and the loss of Iran and the shah had probably one of the root causes with a lot of our added problems in the middle east mainly Iraq and the Over reliance on Saudi Arabia, and even Osama. Say more some other time.. Though used to have a Government teacher that always said Carter Listened to the wrong foreign policy guy and ignored the other guy. Though as Carter the man nothing wrong with him stand up man who did a lot of good after geting out of office.
