None of them can be 100 % correct but they can all be mostly correct.

These are all people trying to incite change by spreading information. When trying to reach an audience it is often best to speak at their level. Some people that are not ready for deeper truths can still have their curiosity piqued by a Michael Moore. Making people curious is my main focus when doing 'public outreach'. Motivating people to find out for themselves is what it is all about.
So on some level these people are doing good. Of course when fabrications or misdirections get mixed in the overall value is decreased. Hopefully 'students' will realize they can only get so much from one source. However I have seen it happen many times over the past few years that once the brainwash bubble is burst people WILL develop a ravenous appetite for research.
Here at Avalon though the audience is not 'average'. So it is a bit of fun to give our opinions ranking messengers on percentage of truth presented. Most the comments here seem fairly on the mark so I'll just add a couple points of trivia.
Cory Rowe, one of the makers of
Loose Change, admitted (with some embarrassment) that Moore's 9/11 movie initially motivated him start making a movie.
Down at the bottom of the list, I would put Rosie O'Donnell ahead of Michael Moore. O'Donnell has openly promoted William Rodriguez, which Moore would never have the cajones to do.
