It is fishy because of the piece is either a) a documentry or b) propaganda.
A journalists duty is to inform you of the facts not to convince people what are the "facts".
By placing it so close to the election they are creating a situation where they could easily miss represent the facts and no one would have a chance to truely counter the invalid claims.
Again think about F911. While many of you say you would support him airing it on public TV i don't think if the role was truely reversed you would have taken the same stance. Moore miss represents a lot of facts, if he put it so close to the election (and it had not been aired before so no one had counters made to the information) there could be a very seious problem.
