That's fair enough. But as you pointed out yourself, we are ALL more inclined to agree with those whose views are similar to our own. We are also more likely to "overlook" any skewing of the facts that person may do and to consider such manipulation to be "minor" in the overall scheme of things. So Chewbacca didn't take issue with BfC the way others have, because he agreed with the overall message it presented and felt that any deviations within the film itself did not take away or alter the central truth the film presented.
I am unsure what makes you think I agree with BFC's "overall message" and 'central truth. For one thing I am unclear what BFC's "overall message" or "central truth" actually are and I have actually seen the film.

Another thing is this accusation that I have "overlooked" falsehood out of some sort of sympathy with M. Moore.

My objection is that Moore's alleged 'falsehoods' are unproven, though I have seen some heavily biased, hyperbole filled attempts. Just because folks repeat the opinion "Moore is a Liar" doesn't make it true or a fact. It is lack of credible, objective, critically skeptical, evidence- not sympathy- that has formed my opinion of the film.
