Randy Olson, who in his film Flock of Dodos portrays biologist Jonathan Wells as a fraud for claiming in the book Icons of Evolution (2000) that modern biology textbooks continued to reprint Haeckel-based drawings.

But it turns out that Olson is the one who is promoting a fraud….

Olson must believe his viewers are a bunch of Ã¢â‚¬Å“dodosÃ¢â‚¬Â if he believes they are going to fall for such a complete rewriting of history!

Moore, Morgan Spurlock and Alexandra Pelosi's style of filmmaking is similar to a newspaper op-ed piece. They have an opinion and they are going to muster evidence to make their point. They also will mix in their sense of humor and cultural sensabilities. I really enjoyed Michael Moore's Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine but felt fully manipulated in Farenheit 9/11. I bet Olson is in the same vein as the others.late_model_{February 8, 2007

"I guess Randy Olson is a huge liar." I think in film-making, it's called "artistic license", not lying. I think it was Michael Moore who referred to one of his films as a "documentary" when he could get away with it, and "entertainment" when he couldn't (i.e. when someone challenged his facts or misrepresentations). Perhaps Olson will claim that "Dodos" is "just entertainment".russ_{February 8, 2007
