Re: What\'s your opinion on Michael Moore?
Dids,
On #1 - I agree that his POV is very simplistic and sometimes just flat out wrong.
However I think you're missing the point a bit on #2. It's not so much about what corporations can and can't do, it's about shining a light on their activities. Let the public be the final judge. You don't have a problem with GM putting 10s of thousands out of work in the US to save a few bucks. Maybe others do. Maybe the threat of bad exposure actually enters into a corporation's thought process. In the grand scheme, there are often worse things that can happen than some shareholders don't get to squeeze every last drop of profit out of a situation.
Due to obvious natural "synergies", there's so precious little serious media scrutiny into corporate shenanigans. If it weren't for people like Moore and shows like Frontline there would basically be none at all.
