1999 und 2000 produzierte und moderierte Moore zwei Staffeln der Polit-Satire The Awful Truth, die von der Los Angeles Times als "intelligenteste und witzigste Show im Fernsehen" bezeichnet wurde. Moore wurde als "Skandalmacher, Autor und Dokumentarfilmer" beschrieben. Auch diese Sendung gewann mehrere Preise, darunter den "Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award? in der Kategorie Kunst und Unterhaltung. Zudem erhielt sie die Bronzene Rose von Montreux für Vielseitigkeit und zwei Emmy-Nominierungen. (Wikipedia)
Content:
The show emulated television newsmagazine shows (such as 60 Minutes, or Moore's own previous show, TV Nation) in that it comprised a series of documentary segments. For the first season the format involved presenting them to a studio audience (the second season moved to Times Square), often accompanied by a coda and commentary by Moore as to what happened after the segment was first filmed. The show focused on exposing problems in American government, business, and society. It often used outlandish sketches and stunts to point out the inherent absurdity of a situation and hint at potential solutions. At times, the show's sometimes humiliating tactics drew enough attention to cause corporations involved to rethink their policies. For example, after initially denying a man coverage for a pancreas transplant, Humana agreed to pay for it. (Wikipedia)
