Another review of Fahrenheit 9/11

Guess who wrote the following about Moore's flick? (It's sort of similar to the language I used):

"But now a pause for a moment of conscience. Let intellect have its due. Moore cuts plenty of corners, so how good can that be? Compelling? Useful? Moore specializes in hodgepodge. He jokes his way past the rough edges. He’s neither journalist nor documentarian, for he doesn’t set out to discover what he doesn’t already know. To patronize Michael Moore by calling him useful is to give him a pass for shoddy work, sloppy insinuations, emotional blackmail and all–around demagoguery."

Not some crazy right-winger. It was Professor Todd Gitlin, an icon of the ultra-left.
