SiCKO

Moore’s ‘SiCKO’ passes fact-check test.

CNN investigated the health care statistics Michael Moore cites in his new movie and finds them to be “mostly right.” “As we dug deep to uncover the numbers, we found surprisingly few inaccuracies in the film. In fact, most pundits or health-care experts we spoke to spent more time on errors of omission rather than disputing the actual claims in the film.” Click here to find a showing near you.

I find it interesting that CNN says that there are "surprisingly few inaccuracies". Why are they surprised? It's not as if any of Moore's previous films or books had "inaccuracies" in them. Why are they surprised that he once again checked his facts?
