Moore plays himself off as a man of the common people, fighting alongside them for their cause (mainly, anti-Bush and anti-large corporation).
He's just as much a man of the people as is our current president.
If he's going to champion capitalism, maybe he should apologize to General Motors.
From the Wikipedia entry for Roger & Me:
GM argues that the reason for its downsizing was fierce competition from Japanese auto manufacturers and that the only alternative to the factory closures in Flint would have been major government handouts or the abolishment of free trade. Moore briefly touches upon these issues, noting that GM and the factories were profitable when they were moved. He also brings attention to the opulent lifestyles of the rich, including Smith.
