Your argument doesn't make any sense.
Is news sensationalized? Yes.
Everyone knows that.
Does that discount the realities? No.
When I lived in DC, I read about someone getting killed every day. Was
it the front page? No. Did it happen? Yes.
As for citing reliable sources...we are discussing a Michael Moore
movie, aren't we?
I'd be pretty careful about using anything he says as proof of an
argument I was constructing.
