That being that Moore created a work of pure "fiction." From there on it's an easy one to knock down........... And it ignores the "nonfiction" part of the story which is, regardless of your opinion about Moore's work, that Google is trying to lure corporate ads for.............ahem...............image-making! And since the healthcare industry is now under assault (rightfully so, IMHO) then there is a MARKET for their industry flacks to do some damage-control. Enter Google! So, the REAL STORY is another attempt at a HUGE CORPORATION trying to leverage public opinion by using their wealth and power. That it is a supposed "populist" company like Google? I'll ponder that over my next cup of Starbucks.....................NOT! Well, if the above isn’t a strawman!

The real reason behind the whining was the continual exposing of Michael Moore as an irrelevant, creator of fiction posing as reality. The leftists don't like it when they're exposed as being ignorant and stupid. Who cares if someone from Google expresses their personal opinion on the company blog? They have the freedom to do whether people like it or not. All the ranters got their little say in this, but in the end it’s really a non-story.
