Talk about one of the most controversial political pundits of all time. He's made dozens of films and published numerous books, now he's taking over the web as well.
You may love him, you may hate him, but it's important to respect this man for his ability to communicate political messages effectively via the web.
Moore's website is genius--it pulls readers in and provokes a p0litical dialogue. To achieve this, he uses graphics, plays on words, controversial comments and YouTube videos. Moore is without a doubt, reaching out to a younger and more liberal demographic with these tactics.
While his website is a valuable tool for political news and information, it's also a place for readers to be actively engaged in American politics. As Moore states in his letter in the right hand banner, Americans are taking political matters into their own hands.
Moore's website is just a catalyst to allow the continuation of this movement to action.
So, like him or not, at least Moore is taking a step even beyond communication--he's bringing people together by providing a forum to discuss politics and decide on appropriate actions.
If that's not what democracy is all about, then I don't know what is.
