Why doesn't Michael Moore like the Telecommunications Act of 1996?

Question

If you're only interested in trashing Moore then please look for something better to do.

Answer 1

Because the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires any documentary to be truthful. Moore's documentaries tend to give you the truth ,but with a u turn bend to it,Partial truths are the same as un truths.This is why he has a dislike for the Act.He wants to give only his version of what he believes is the truth.

Answer 2

I didn't go looking things up, but didn't part of that Act result in the consolidation of news media outlets.  Radio, print and television news is now under the control a very small group of media giants.

When a nation's media is controlled by a small group, there is obviously the threat of propaganda and influence.  Dictatorships, etc, often seize control of the media early in their efforts to control a country.
