That's part of it, and that I'm really turned off by ideologues of all stripes. I forget who said it, but "If you start with certainty, you will end in doubt; but if you begin with doubt, you will end in certainty."

Ideologues know the answers, they just need to massage the facts to fit. Or heck, just ignore facts if they're inconvenient.

I don't mind a propagandist, though. Much respect to Leni Reifenstahl, at least on a technical level. Having watched maybe three of Moore's films, I just find them sloppy. The reasoning, the logic, it's all sub-par.

So ... his films are the works of an ideologue, and worse, a sloppy ideologue.
