Listed below are some deceptions in Fahrenheit 911. Actually Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 is fraught with lies.
Here is a first deception: The movie craftily opens with Al Gore having a
victory celebration in Florida, apparently because he thought he won
Florida and the election. The narrator says "It was election night 2000
and everything seemed to be going as planned."
Truth: Al Gore never had any celebration in Florida on election night, but
was in Tennessee. There was no celebration by either Bush or Gore on
election night. The clip of Gore celebrating was from another time and
place.
second Deception: All the media were declaring Gore as the winner until the
evil Fox news "called the election for the other guy." The narrator then
says: "All of a sudden the other networks said, 'Hey, if Fox said it, it
must be true.'"
Truth: It was CBS, not Fox that first called Florida for Bush at 10 PM.
Fox did not follow the tide until four hours later. Moore twisted the
facts to make it look as if Fox was conspiring with Bush by calling the
election for him.
Third Deception: Bush spent 42% of his presidency before 9/11 on vacation.
Truth: Moore includes weekends here which few people count as vacation
time. The rest of the time is that which Bush spent away from the White
house such as at Camp David or his ranch. Bush still worked when he was
away from the White House just as other presidents have in the past. In
fact, Democrats think he worked too much on the tax cut. It is doubtful
that any president, Republican or Democratic, gets a full day off on any
regular basis.
