TGIF (breakfast 7.31.09)

Political documentaries are more often than not guilty of skewing the truth – cherry picking footage, and facts to drive a point home. I was hoping it wouldn’t be too Michael-Moore-ish in its sensationalism and selective editing, and yet not vacuous and devoid of rationale, personality and pragmatism like…
