Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. After the left's electoral defeat of 2004, filmmaker and all-around provocateur Michael Moore has been an easy target. In his second book, Larner deftly argues why Moore is also a just target. For liberals who never liked Moore but couldn't figure out why, the book provides essential and definitive muckraking, and the reasons why Moore has attained such prominence within America's conflicted self-image. Larner, a staunch liberal whose rage at much of the current administration's policy is palpable, also despises "political work that emphasizes emotional appeal over factual content" from either side. Moore, he argues, is similar to Anne Coulter in producing journalism of false pretext and sleight-of-montage, sabotaging his own credibility and, by proxy, that of the causes he espouses. Hence, the book is foremost an assiduously researched and impassioned exposé of the foibles that have rendered the left so vulnerable to attack. Some will undoubtedly read it as the revolution's devouring its own children. But Larner's undertaking is admirably unflinching: a call for nuance and evenhandedness from liberals who would revile that same reductionism in the right. (Sept.)

From Booklist

Dedicated liberal Larner is definitely unhappy about would-be cinematic Leftist standard-bearer Michael Moore and his documentaries Roger and Me, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Bowling for Columbine. Larner argues passionately and convincingly that Moore's rollicking, pointed excursions in cinematic invective do his ostensible cause--promotion of liberal candidates and issues--more harm than good through obvious sins of omission and commission that conservatives use to disparage Moore's causes even more than him. Lerner maintains that Moore has become the equivalent of the Right's braying infotainers, inviting comparisons with Ann Coulter and other fast-and-loose cannons the Left despises. Despite such criticism, Larner betrays a bit of discomfort for pillorying a fellow-traveler in the epilogue, in which he pointedly, and probably ineffectually, challenges "decent and sincere traditional conservatives" to "take on [their] own team's excesses," mentioning Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly, in particular, as deserving targets. Probably best not to hold one's breath waiting for that to happen--which, however, doesn't detract from the compelling thrust of Larner's screed. Mike Tribby
