Anchormen Acknowledge 'Fahrenheit' Fiction

Members of the elite media gathered on the Left Coast recently to discuss the state of their profession.

Instead of chewing the industry fat, media folks were more interested in swapping opinions on Michael Moore's fraudulent film "Fahrenheit 9/11."

George Stephanopoulos noted that he had spoken with individuals who had gone to see Moore's flick and had asked them why. The answer he received was "because we wanted to get the facts."

A few of Stephanopoulos' high-profile peers had intriguing takes on the "facts."

Ted Koppel evidently enjoyed the movie but had problems with Moore's accuracy, or lack thereof. Koppel described the film as "a terrific piece of entertainment" that had some "interesting facts in it." But: "It is to the documentary what the [Oliver Stone] 'JFK' film was to history."

The soon-to-be-retiring Tom Brokaw, hitting Moore's film even harder, commented that it "took a lot of liberties, not just with the facts but with how you arrange the facts."

The Left Coast Report says using the term "facts" in the same sentence as Michael Moore is like using the word "bubbly" to describe Ted Koppel.
