must not be biased

Never let it be said that I don't make at least a few attempts to show both sides of the story. While I'll often talk about my affinity for Michael Moore, it is important to see what other people are saying. To see what other people are trying to do. Basically these articles go through Bowling For Columbine and point out some glaring mis-truths.
And while I'm sure Brian will be glued to the screen reading these articles and extolling just how justified his hate for the man is, I must make the point that regardless of the cold hard facts behind Bowling, the point being made is that fear and violence are a huge problem in this country. Moore may have lost some respect in my book (though, if I just blindly believed him, why should I blindly believe these counter-points?) but I still think his underlying point is valid.
