Farenheit 9/11 Briefly Revisited

Saw the film again today, this time with my partner and a long-distance visitor, because neither of them had seen it. Can't say my analysis really changed that much.

Generally I have been trying to avoid reading or seeing too much material about the film -- most of what I have read has either been mainstream or conservative commentary that is critical in a way that is ill-informed and hypocritical, or progressive or leftist commentary that is critical in a way that is smug and holier-than-thou. However, I have come across one article by Robert Jensen, a professor of journalism in Texas and an active ally in anti-racist and other struggles, whose critique I think is worth referring people to.
