Foreign media is apparently more biased than even U.S. media

Self-identified lefty Canadian filmmakers started out wanting to do a sympathetic biographical documentary on Michael Moore, a person whose ideals they greatly admired (yes, that is quite pathetic). While researching him they found out ...stop the presses... that he was a phony. The fact that many Canadians and quite a number of Americans do not know this, is appalling given his influence on American politics. At the time of Fahrenheit 9/11, there were numerous stories about the inaccuracies in his documentaries: Bowling for Columbine and Roger & Me as well as his own inhumane treatment of workers. Even the liberal (but very respected) The New Yorker magazine, which was sympathetic to his viewpoints, exposed Michael Moore's hypocrisy.

The fact that Canadians were not aware of any of this is surprising and provides at least some evidence that Canadian news sources provide a very skewed view of the United States. However, even this country's coverage of Michael Moore falls considerably short of pursuing the unbiased truth. I had no idea (although I might have read about it at some point) that Michael Moore actually did interview the head of General Motors, so in essence as the Canadian filmmakers note; the whole premise of his movie, Roger & Me, is false.
