Michael Moore had epiphany while on the road to Rome.
The filmmaker lambasted corporate media for placing more emphasis on frivolous entertainment than hard-hitting objective news.
“If you allow rich corporations to buy up and control most of the media, and then put things on the media that are intended to appeal to the stupidity that’s in all of us, you will have a dumb-downed nation,” he said.
