“There is an interesting and important story to be followed here, the killing of thousands of people by those who trade in asbestos, yet the journalist lazily decides, after finding himself at personal odds with the whiste blower (Moore), to not believe him, and seeing a more complicated investigation ahead, that would require way more resources and time than either he had or Tortoise were prepared to offer the reporter and so turned the whole endevour into a personal and pointless public take down of Mr Moore, an idealist trying his best to do something good. If this guy was a public figure there may have been some justification but he is not and it all amounts to a big media company publicly bullying one man. And to what end? We learn nothing about the corporate spying industry, we learn nothing about the continued mining of chryslotille and the campaigns people behind it or where the money goes This must have been personally devastating to Mr Moore, a Buddhist who seems to have entrusted these people to tell his story but who, over faced by the size of the story, took Moore’s work and used it for harm in a cheap hit job character assassination.”
