HOWTO: The Straw Man
I watched the Robert Greenwald documentary Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price last night. The only other film of his that I have seen is Outfoxed, which I basically liked. This one, on the other hand, exemplified one of my least favorite aspects of the Michael Moore brand of liberal activist film-making, namely, making a movie that is guaranteed to appeal to people who already agree with you, but is easily dismissed by not only those who actively disagree with you, but also by those who are on the fence.
