    What kind of right wing counter intelligence pseudo progressive pablum is this denigration of michael moore??? This 'mockumentary' is so falsely premised, and so duplicitous in its interviews and comments about moore and his work that it begs wonderment as to its motivations and whether it was funded by republican zealots fronting as 'more liberal than thou' faux libs, but merely attributing qualities and characteristics to moore's work and behaviour that simply don't exist, and which aren't even depicted effectively in this horrifically stupid bait and switch pretense. Because 'manufacturing dissent' so prominently featured ralph nader and his followers and was released at a time when nader is again poised to spoil the 2008 election, this attempt to discredit moore as an important voice of the american progressive movement is about as disingenuous as anything put forward by the RNC. Why is SUNDANCE, of all media, with its formerly progressive history, airing this piece of shit??? I'm appalled that this ridiculous right wing celluloid cointel deception has seen the light of day, especially in this venue...

      It was brillant,,I've finally seen a program that tells the truth about MOORE LIES, and better yet,,that you folks at sundance had the moxie to bring it to us. I'm so tired of constantly hearing that republicans and conservatives have no sense of fair play and being GREEN. Yet the left wing kooks can run around all the time yelling foul, but when one of theirs gets it right back, they call it a lie,,even when the documentary showed exactly how moore puts (weaves) his tales of spital. one of you're feedbacks was from that exact person i just described,,an idiot marching to the left wing commies with no thought of ever allowing others to have a different philosophy of goverment and how much it should be in our lives..Thank you sundance for being like FOX network, and allowing another side to be heard,,hope you give us more...

      I want to thank Sundance for having the balls to run "Manufacturing Dissent". The evidence here and elsewhere is the Mr Moore is not a documentary film-maker. He has an agenda...I've no problem with that, the problem is that he's lost any moral authority by deceiving the audience that his films are documentaries. Make whatever film you want Mr Moore, just know that it will be viewed with much more critical eyes out here.

      i appreciated michael moore's work for years--so did the filmmaker--but you can't argue with the facts of this film. it's like hillary clinton denying the delegate number. i thought this was a sad but excellent documentary. there is no need to lie to tell the truth, it just doesn't work, it just can't as it is total negation. ~laura tattoo, astoria, oregon
