Substituting Images For Logic

The "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11, is a classic example of the use of the power of images to "smuggle in" opinions and slander against political enemies through the back door of consciousness, through suggestion and innuendo. The Democratic Party has hailed Michael Moore as their hero despite the absolute lack of factual basis for the purported documentary created by Michael Moore. This only highlights the Party's lack of substance. In Liberalism, which is the guiding ideology of The Democratic Party, images matter more than substance. This explains the Party's symbiotic relationship with the media. The media's power rests in their ability to "smuggle in" opinions and suggestions, not by the force of logic or argument, but by the power of images, the so-called "spin", in other words, by the use of propaganda. Fahrenheit 9/11 is truly more propaganda than a documentary.
