Moore Eyes $10,000 Reward for 'Fahrenheit' Errors
It looks like Democratic Party propaganda-meister Michael Moore may have finally found a way to get rid off all that filthy capitalist lucre he's been collecting from his hit movie, "Fahrenheit 911." That is, if he decides to go through with a proposal he floats in this week's Time magazine.

About the numerous complaints that his movie is chock-full of inaccuracies, Moore boasts: "There is not a single factual error in the movie. I'm thinking of offering a $10,000 reward for anyone that can find a single fact that's wrong."
Ooops.
If recent reports from even liberal quarters are any indication, the line to take Moore up on his offer will likely stretch around the block.
On Wednesday Newsweek's Michael Isikoff detailed an array of errors in the movie that included, not just mistaken analysis, but seriously false claims - like the charge that the Bush White House let members of the bin Laden family flee the U.S. without any of them being interviewed by the FBI.
Then there's the Washington Post's Richard Cohen, who calls Moore's movie "juvenile in its approach" and "awful in its journalism," adding that some of his claims are so easily dismissible that "Fahrenheit" serves as "a warning to the Democrats to keep the loony left at a safe distance."
Of course, Moore said he's merely considering a "factual error" reward plan, not really offering one. Here's betting that this time he decides not to put his money where his mouth is.
