The original statement in the movie (emphasis added):
Quote:

Toobin: If there was a statewide recount, under every scenario, Gore won the election.

LOL, notice how this story blatantly truncates the statement from the movie in order to make it false.

WASHINGTON - At the start of "Fahrenheit 9/11," filmmaker Michael Moore shows a clip of CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin saying that if ballots had been recounted in Florida after the 2000 presidential vote, "under every scenario Gore won the election."

Nothing in the AP story contradicts the Movie. I don't know why you quoted it.

So the charge against MM stands, he is great at spinning and not presenting ALL the evidence.
As he did in "Bowling", he is laying a path to an erroneous conclusion, in this case, that Gore would have won the election in any recount, while ignoring the truth.

The charge against MM DOES NOT stand. MM is 100% factually accurate, there is no spin, and there is no erroneous conclusion. If you and others can not comprehend straight English that is not
his problem.
