moore's main problem with integrity isn't that he presents many facts that aren't true to some extent... it's that he presents those facts in a way that manipulates the truth.
i think it's quite a stretch to say that BFC was lie-free because no one bothered to drop a law-suit on him. that sounds like a self-important blowhard thing to say. if you've seen BFC, most of the people he picks are are bank/store managers, unsuspecting common people and a senile old man. with the exception of that particular senile old man, hardly the sort of people who would have the resources or desire to fight moore on a technicality.
