Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

Corrected entry: Michael Moore shows a clip of CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin saying that if ballots had been recounted in Florida after the 2000 presidential vote, "under every scenario Gore won the election." What Moore doesn't show is that a six-month study in 2001 by news organizations including The New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN found just the opposite. Even if the Supreme Court had not stopped a statewide recount, or if a more limited recount of four heavily Democratic counties had taken place, Bush still would have won Florida and the election.

Correction: This is an ongoing debate. The truth is no one of the general public will know for sure who won the popular vote. Moore is showing is point of view on the issue. It doesn't mean that he lied about it.
