A person's point of view is the largest factor in what we choose to believe.
This was driven home in a film I recently saw. While the film was not political, the point it made left quite an impression on me.
The film presented facts that lead one to draw a certain, seemingly undeniable conclusion about events. The film then turns completely and shows the exact same facts from a different point of view and destroys any notion of truth one had before.
This is true of politics and of Moore's film. I tend to believe Moore's film because of my point of view. However, I must be emotionally mature enough to realize that my believing it doesn't make it undeniable truth.

By the way, the film I saw was <i>He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not</i>. It's a french film.
